I've been buying here for the last couple of years. Customer service is very knowledgeable and overall great. The best thing is there plants live! To name a couple, the two coral honeysuckles I bought last year have already overgrown their 8 foot trellis and the most recent batch of blue sage I bought about 6 weeks ago are doing great. Don't overlook their potting soil as it works great working with seedlings. I suggest you get there early Thursdays as I might beat you to the good stuff!

This place is a hidden gem. So much closer to town than you think and worth the trip. I am slowly replacing my dying lawn with natives, and the staff here is so friendly and willing to share their knowledge, which is vast. I learn something new every time I visit, and have added almost 10 native species to my teeny little urban yard. I see so many different native butterflies every day year round, and my soffits are covered in empty cocoons, mostly gulf coast fritillary.

They have some hard to find Florida native plants including frog fruit, which I've been trying hard to find for a while to help control erosion on my property. They are also very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Great nursery for Florida native plant lovers!
