We recommend the use of Florida's native
 trees, shrubs, palms and wildflowers  to create 
unique, lush, tropical landscapes that preserve 
Florida's natural heritage and support native wildlife.

What Are Native Plants?

Native plants are trees, shrubs, and wildflowers that thrived in an area prior to European settlement.  These plants have evolved over a millennium to be ideally suited to that ecosystem in terms of soil type, climate, wildlife food and habitat. 

In other words, native Florida plants can survive Florida's wet and humid summers, dry winters and everything in between with minimal maintenance once established.

Planting native plants on your property helps preserve Florida's natural habitat.  This is important now more than ever as Florida's incredibly divers, wild ecosystems are replaces with homogenized landscapes of non-native exotic plants.

 

Why Grow Native?

Our native plants are ideally suited to thrive in Florida soils and climate.

Birds, butterflies and other wildlife will be attracted to your landscape.

Native plants will flourish without fertilizers and pesticides.

Native plants need less water and maintenance which gives you more time to enjoy them!

Where do I find native plants for my yard?

While, on occasion, you can find some native plants at your local retail nursery, you have to know what your are looking for and not be distracted by the large variety of non-native plants they offer.

We recommend our clients visit a truly native nursery that sells to retail customers.  We have listed some of our favorites below, but for a complete list of native nurseries in the state of Florida, visit the Association of Florida Native Nurseries web site.
