We are entering the Fall season and are starting to enjoy slightly cooler weather. Our nursery is filling up with a variety of edible plants ready for a home and we are starting to help plant cool weather crops in gardens throughout South Florida.

Need plants or supplies for your edible garden? Our nursery is open to the public for EVERY SATURDAY IN OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER. Hours will be 10am-2pm. No appointment or minimum purchase needed.

Otherwise we will continue to also be open by appointment on most Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, which can be scheduled on our appointments page.

We are located at 4590 SW 122nd Ave, 33175 in Miami’s Horse Country area.

At this point in the season, we mostly have tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, beets, arugula, salad mix, asian greens, and lots of different herbs. Many of the cold loving crops like lettuce, kale and broccoli need another couple weeks or so to be ready to plant.

In addition to veggie and herb plants, we have seeds, soil, mulch, organic fertilizers and LOTS of tropical fruit trees available.

To see our plant availability, visit our veggie and herb page and our fruit tree page.

We’d love to help!

Ready-to-Grow Gardens is hiring!

Are you or is someone you know looking for a job helping others grow their own food? Joining the RTG team might be a good fit! There is a growing demand for people needing help with their edible garden and we need to build our team over the coming months.

We are looking for help with the following:

– Edible garden installation & care

– Fruit tree planting & care

– Nursery management (plant propagation, organization, weeding, signage)

– Carpentry (building garden beds)

– Loading and transporting heavy materials

– Sales of plants and garden supplies at the nursery

– Marketing

– Garden education (helping teach others to grow their own food)

Gardening can be a lot of fun, but keep in mind that working outdoors is usually hot and sometimes rainy. We are looking for teammates with a strong focused work ethic. Prior experience with growing edible plants is preferred but not necessary.

If interested, please email dylan@ready-to-grow.com with a cover letter, resume and preferred pay rate. We are open to occasional, part-time and full-time help. Also, if you know someone that might be interested in this, please share!

It was an honor to recently get a surprise visit from John Kohler of Growing Your Greens. Below is a video he made at our nursery and demo garden showing some of the growing we do.  I recommend watching it and other videos that John has made about growing your own food.  More at www.growingyourgreens.com …
