Chocolate is the perennial favorite gift at Valentines Day. Sadly, you eat it, it’s all gone but the calories! Bergen is excited to offer chocolate that last for months and may reappear several times during the year and is fat free! Checkout our chocolate scented orchids from the Oncidium or dancing ladies section. We will offer these “Box of Chocolates” at Bergen Water Gardens and at the upcoming Northeast Plant Show in Syracuse, New York.
