Growing up in North Florida I've witnessed a lot of growth. My family has lived in North Florida ever since the Florida was a state. They operated a trading post/ post office and steam boat stop on the Apalachicola River for almost 100 years. To them growing your own food was just what you had to do.
My dad moved to Jacksonville and he and his brothers built the house we lived in. I grew up on the west side of Jacksonville and as a young man worked in several nurseries in the area. I always had a passion for plants and the outdoors. When I first got back in the nursery business about 2007 it was with the intention of having a small side business and maybe a little income stream.

Services
We started out as a family run farm-nursery specializing in edible landscape and garden plants. We firmly believe in practicing organic principles and sustainable agriculture. Going forward we want to continue offering quality edible plants to the community but also provide more educational opportunities for this and help this next generation see the importance of this.

One of our goals moving forward is to help the next generation realize the importance of local, sustainably grown food. We hope to do this with more school gardens, garden education programs, edible school yards, and more. We can schedule trips and tours for your group. Email us about setting up your group trip where you can observe and participate hands on in how growing more of your own food can be incorporated in your lives.
