Hi there. I’m sure your gardens are enjoying all this wonderful rain as much as my personal garden is!
Speaking of personal gardens, I have a big ol’ list of plants I’m adding to my garden over the next few weeks. Yes, I know that October through April is the premium time to plant in our area. But y’all keep me so busy during those months that I seriously don’t have time to tend to my own garden. So I’ll just be out toiling and sweating in our heat and humidity while gardening … and loving every minute of it. I’ll post pics so you can follow along as my garden grows.
Anyway. Here’s the super cool list of the Florida natives I’m getting in stock this week. Click on the plant name to go to its Garden Shop page to get more info and to place your order.

New: First time sold in the Garden Shop.
All are Florida natives.
I can’t wait to see the 7-gallon Chickasaw Plums. Which ones are you excited about?
Oakleaf Hydrangea Note: Yes, the flower in the picture is the straight species Oakleaf Hydrangea. The blooms start off a beautiful pure white to creamy white color, then age into that very lovely rosy-pink hue. As seen in the pic below, both colors can occur on the same plant at the same time. How stunning is that!
Happy diggin’ in the dirt!
