About This Garden
The Orchid Knowledge Garden is an interactive botanical intelligence platform — a Victorian herbarium meets engineering schematic, powered by real taxonomic data and designed to make orchid knowledge beautiful, useful, and commercially connected.
We bring together data from three authoritative sources into a single, navigable experience covering 400 species across 69 genera. Every species page features taxonomy, photography, procedural botanical blueprints, care intelligence, and direct links to Ecuagenera’s orchid nursery.
Data Sources
World Checklist of Vascular Plants. The taxonomic authority for species names, authors, publication dates, and accepted nomenclature.
Community science observations. Geographic distribution data, field photography, and observation counts from citizen scientists worldwide.
Ecuador's premier orchid nursery. Live commerce data including availability, pricing, and direct product links for orchid acquisition.
Immersive Experiences
Beyond the browse pages, the Knowledge Garden includes three immersive interactive experiences:
How It’s Built
This is a Knowledge Garden — part of the XR Workers ecosystem. The platform is powered by a normalized PostgreSQL database (Supabase) with 400 species records. Every species page is statically generated for speed and includes Schema.org JSON-LD structured data for AI discoverability and Search Everywhere Optimization.
The Knowledge Gardens
This orchid garden is one of several Knowledge Gardens being developed. Each garden takes a complex domain — orchids, toxicology, and more to come — and makes it navigable, beautiful, and useful. Where science meets wonder.
