Wholesale Garden Nursery
Serving the Jacksonville, Gainesville & Lake City, FL Areas

Visiting a local garden nursery instead of a big-name realtor has many advantages if you're trying to create a healthy and vibrant landscape. If you are looking for a place to buy your plants in the greater Lake City area, keep the following points in mind:

• Garden Nurseries Have Healthier Plants: While the bigger stores tend to price their plants lower, local garden nurseries tend to have healthier, higher-quality plants. We believe that you get what you pay for; buying your plants at our garden center will ensure that you have the most beautiful selection possible.
• You'll Find Native Plants Here: If you're looking for beautiful, low-maintenance plants for your beds, native plants are your best bet. Native plants are adapted to the specific growing conditions that Gainesville and the surrounding Florida areas have to offer, so they are more likely to take root and last longer. They will also generally require less upkeep than other plants, though you will still need to regularly maintain them.
• Our Staff Can Answer Your Questions: If you're not sure how to care for your plants, or even which plants to purchase, you can consult any employee at your local garden nursery. We have knowledge and experience that the bigger stores simply cannot match.
• Garden Nurseries Have Hardier Plants: Growing a plant from seed takes time and resources. We carefully grow our seedlings using feeders and top grade soil to help them grow into strong adult plants. We ensure that every plant we sell has a sturdy root system to give it the best start possible.
• Avoid Foreign Pests: Foreign pests are a huge issue with plants from big name retailers. They can transmit diseases, displace native species, or even diminish your property value. When you purchase plants from your local nursery, you won't need to worry about foreign pests. While our plants do have pests, they are much more likely to be local pests that are easier and safer to handle.

A visit to our garden nursery is always a treat. New and returning customers alike enjoy the vibrant colors, incredible smells, and sense of promise that come with being surrounded by our selection of plants and flowers. If you're feeling a little overwhelmed, it's a good idea to go into the process with a plan. Here are some tips and tricks for making the most of your visit to our garden center:

• Shop During the Week, If Possible: Most garden nurseries are busiest during the weekend hours. Shopping during the week allows you to take your time and choose the most suitable plants for your needs.
• Make a List: It's easier to stick to your budget if you make a list of what you need going in. Our team of experienced gardeners can help you determine which plants will best meet your needs, if you're not sure where to begin.
• Visit Throughout the Growing Season: Different plants bloom at different times throughout the growing season. Visiting our garden nursery during the beginning, middle, and end of the season can help you see different plants in all their glory and get an idea of how they'll look in your garden. Plan to plant a mixture of annuals, which last one season but provide continuous blooms, and perennials, which return every year but bloom at different times. This will help your landscape showcase a different look throughout the season.
• Choose Your Plants Strategically: It can be easy to be blown away by the selection of plants and flowers we have available, but stick to what you are able to grow based on your available space, sunlight distribution, and practical time commitments. When selecting individual plants, check them carefully to make sure they are healthy. Choose plants with more buds than blooms so you'll make the most of the plant's growing time.
• Remember the Extras: Do you need mulch, soil, pots, tools, or other gardening accessories? Make sure to grab what you need so you can get started when you get your plants home!
