A HUGE thanks to Amy, who helped me complete my shopping for many projects in one visit. And, another thanks to Amy, Judi, Matt, Emily and Millie for working their puzzle magic to get two huge ceramic pots, a jumbo citrus tree, 3 bags of fill dirt, 2 large bags of potting soil, and 2 Bird of Paradise plants into my vehicle. Amazing teamwork! And, the friendliest nursery staff… I love shopping there.
Southern Horticulture is my favorite nursery in the area! One of the only places around to get native plants, and they have tons! Been going for a few years, and the selection keeps growing. Always a pleasure seeing the friendly and knowledgeable staff. Definitely worth checking out if you haven’t yet; it’ll become a new favorite!
Absolutely the best kept secret in all of St. Augustine! I just discovered this little gem of a nursery less than a month ago. I live up in Jax so it's about a 45 minute drive for me. I've already made 3 trips and bought stuff all 3 times. The staff is simply amazing: Judy, Amy, and Lisa have been just amazingly customer focused. The nursery itself is just absolutely beautiful and the selection is top notch! Just picked up a new yellow Nitty Gritty rose bush today and (6) absolutely beautiful Vinca's. Really worth the drive if you have never been to Southern Horticulture!
