Hi,
      I finally found some information about moving houseplants and
orchids through Canada. We plan to move ourselves instead of using a
moving company.
      I e-mailed both the US. Dept. of Agr. and the Canadian Dept. of
Agr. I have copied the Canadian answer to my question. Perhaps this
answer will help someone else.

Dear Kathleen Wartinbee:

This is in response to your message regarding the transport of plants
through Canada and back into the US.

There are no requirements for the movement of house plants (as long
as they are commonly known as recognized as such) from the
continental US through Canada.  Also, there is no requirement to bring
them back into the US from Canada.

If you require further information please contact me at the following
