I have been visiting this nursery for over ten years, and they helped me transform our yard into a little wildlife sanctuary within all the development that is happening around us. Laurel and Annie have even been so kind to help educate kids too, so they can care for the environment and understand why they’re doing it. Every visit is a wonderful experience, and the plants I purchased there are thriving with minimal care and watering, and no chemicals at all.
We traveled from St Pete to this fantastic garden center. The quality of their plants is stellar and the prices are so fair. The staff is warm and friendly. They offer great advice which as a snowbird I appreciated. We’re planning another trip for more plants very soon.
Perfect nursery! They have native plants and also non native plants that do super well in Florida! Staff knows a lot! They have worm composting system using rabbits & worms! Outdoors! Oregano, tulsi holy basil, African basil, Mexican tarragon, Barbados cherry, silver saw palmetto, weeping yulpon holly, Thai basil, longevity spinach, cranberry hibiscus, chives, lemongrass and so much more!!!
Wonderful collection and very informative! We probably spent more than we were expecting to- but how can you not with such a wide range of natives and rare plants? I will highly recommend to other gardeners I meet. Thank you for also having detailed labels so we can continue to care for these plants.
What a magical place! A selection of Florida native plants you won’t find anywhere else on a beautiful piece of property. Laurel was kind enough to take our homeschool group on a tour of the plants (and animals) of the nursery. She taught us about some of the unique plants and spent time answering questions. I recommend a visit here to learn about Florida plants and what should be planted for a thriving home landscape. Also you can learn so much about specific plants to attract and help care for our birds and butterflies. Laurel also has a ton of information about what to plant after the hurricane. Thank you Florida Native Plants Nursery!
