We hope you’ve all been enjoying the cooler weather. We are now transitioning into our warmer season when tropical fruit trees and heat-loving crops do the best. If you’d like to add any fruit trees to your landscape or some veggies or herbs that can take the heat, consider stopping by Ready-to-Grow this Saturday!

SPRING EDIBLE PLANT SALE

Saturday, March 25th, 10 am – 3 pm, 4590 SW 122nd Ave, Miami, FL, 33175

If you can’t make it this Saturday we will continue to also be open by appointment on most Tuesday Thursday afternoons, as well as most Saturdays, which can be scheduled on our appointments page. We are located at 4590 SW 122nd Ave, 33175 in Miami’s Horse Country area.

We have a GREAT selection of tropical fruit trees as we have recently restocked on many great species and varieties including mango (about 50 varieties), avocado, banana, guava, lychee, mamey, mulberry and many others. To see our full selection of tropical fruit trees, visit our fruit tree page.

We also are beginning to have more annual and perennial crops for summer including tropical spinaches, calaloo, ‘Everglades Cherry’ tomatoes, cranberry hibiscus, roselle (Jamaican sorrel), eggplant, a huge variety of peppers, plenty of herbs and many more.

In addition, we have seeds, soil, mulch, and organic fertilizers.

To reduce waste, we try to reuse plastic supplies as much as possible. If any of you have any pots (any size) or trays for pots to donate, please bring them! Also we offer a store credit for larger pots (15 or 25 gal).

We’d love to have you visit!

We are entering the fall season in South Florida and are enjoying the slightly cooler weather. Our nursery is filling up with a variety of vegetable and herb plants ready for a home! Need plants or supplies for your edible garden? We’ve decided to open our nursery to the public EVERY SATURDAY IN OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER. Hours for these Saturdays are 10am-2pm. No appointment or minimum purchase needed.

Otherwise we are also open by appointment on most Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, which can be scheduled on our appointments 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!

For anyone looking for a gift, Ready-to-Grow is now offering eGift cards which can be purchased from our gift card page.

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 …
