Master Grower/Owner – Lesley Davis
The Mountain Orchid’s director of cultivation has had over a decade of experience in growing Cannabis plants and a lifetime of experience in other plant growth. Lesley has dedicated her career to perfecting the cultivation of Cannabis. Her love for horticulture was instilled at a young age by her mother. During her childhood, she was raised with a greenhouse full of Orchids and other blooming plants, where she was taught how to interpret a plant’s needs and how to provide the proper care for her plants to flourish. Lesley brought several of her mother’s orchids with her to the Mountains of Colorado, hence the business name, The Mountain Orchid.
Lesley received her bachelor’s degree in Chemistry Education at the University of Miami in Oxford, Ohio. She followed her love for nature and moved to Colorado after college graduation. She met her future husband, Jay Davis, and they moved to the Town of Montezuma in 2002. Jay and Lesley met their business partner and best friend, Anthony Paretti, in Montezuma. Lesley and Jay work hard together in the garden, and Jay is Lesley’s right hand man when it comes to cultivating Cannabis. Together, Lesley, Jay, and Anthony have manifested their vision of constructing a state-of-the-art facility to produce the finest boutique Cannabis products.
