The Ready-to-Grow Garden Center was visited by Mother Nature on Monday in the form of a tornado. While there was much structural damage to our nursery, most of our plants are ok and ready for a home, and also could be perfect gift’s for Mother’s Day!

The cool weather that allows south Floridians to grow many of our favorite veggies has left and the more tropical hot and humid weather has arrived. While many annual veggie gardens are winding down over the next month, we are entering a great time of year to plant tropical fruit trees and other heat tolerant plants.
