About Orquidário Catarinense Alvim Seidel
The Orquidário Catarinense Alvim Seidel continues a botanical tradition in Corupá begun by Roberto Seidel in 1906. In 1945, Alvim took over the cultivation of orchids and bromeliads, expanding an activity that remained in the family. The establishment is located on Rua Roberto Seidel, in the Seminário neighborhood, producing plants and seeds.
Visiting the cultivation requires confirming with the person in charge what type of service is offered to visitors, distinguishing commercial sales from an accompanied visit to the production areas. Blooms change throughout the year, and an image of a flowering plant does not guarantee the same set will be available on your trip. If a visit is authorized, observe the specimens without touching the plants or removing material, following the orquidário’s conservation and handling guidelines.
