Specialties

For thirty years, Florida Native Plants Nursery & Landscaping has grown and sold plants native to Florida. Properly placed and planted, native species can thrive under our Florida gardening conditions without fertilizer, pesticides or supplemental water once established. Add life to your landscape! Native plants attract birds, butterflies and other wildlife by providing them with food, shelter and places to raise their young. The Nursery stocks over a hundred species of trees, shrubs, vines, grasses, groundcovers, wildflowers and pond plants to fit your yard. We carry hardy herb and edible starter plants for Southwest Florida such as everglades tomato, papaya, blueberry, elderberry and Moringa. We also carry organic seeds that are specially selected for the current Florida 'season.' The Nursery will help you plan your "Real Florida" yard. We'll offer helpful "how-to's" to get you started and keep you going!
