Have you ever thought about transforming your yard into a thriving habitat for butterflies, bees, birds and other wildlife? There is an abundance of plant species that help provide this, and many of them are native to our area and flourish with minimal input.
While Ready-to-Grow primarily has the mission of growing plants to feed people, we also find it valuable to feed other creatures we share the planet with.
As South Florida continues to grow, we sadly witness the destruction of natural habitats, while once thriving ecosystems are turned into a combination of concrete, asphalt, and lawns that demand excessive watering and chemical treatments.
By embracing plants that have evolved in our environment over centuries, we can help to recreate pockets of a more balanced ecosystem right in our yards!
Native/butterfly plants can be picked up at our nursery on:
Tuesday 1 pm – 6 pm
Thursday 1 pm – 6 pm
Saturday 10 am – 3 pm
Sunday 10 am – 3 pm
