06/17 Plant Pick Up Post

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.

Hello there, my fellow flower freaks! It has been a crazy busy week, with next week looking to be the same. I appreciate all of your orders that are keeping me so busy. Y’all keep ordering, and I’ll keep picking up new/restocked Florida native plants for you to buy.

May Plant Delivery Post

Hello from me and Ziva!

A few days ago in a post called Coming Soon To Your Favorite Native Garden Shop I talked about the plants my suppliers are growing for me. Well, one supplier let me know today that a large part of my order is ready to go! Yay! Usually I pick up orders from my suppliers, but this order is way too big to fit in my truck so it is being delivered to me. I don’t have a specific delivery day yet, but it will be about the middle of May, which is only a couple of weeks away. I went ahead and updated the inventory of the plants coming in on that delivery. That means you can go ahead and place your order for them. But please keep in mind that delivery of them to you is 2 – 3 weeks out. You will get email updates of your delivery day when I get them in stock. I made a note on the description pages for all those plants repeating what I just said here because I don’t want y’all to be surprised that your order might take longer to get to you than normal.

03/24 Plant Pick Up Post

So excited to tell you about another native plant supplier that I found! She grows her natives from seeds, is in Alachua County, and grows some plants I haven’t been able to find locally. Her plants are in 4″ containers and will be $6 each. To compare, the 1-gallon size I sell is a 6″ container. So these plants will be a bit smaller than the 1-gallons, but so is the price. The group she’s growing for me will be ready in the April/May/June timeframe. Here’s what I’m getting:

Perennial Sleepy-Time, Oak Garden

Happy New Year to all my fellow flower freaks! You may have noticed I haven’t been very active on Bella’s social media over the holidays. Well, that’s because I decided to take a little bit of time off to recenter and regroup myself to get ready for what I hope to be an amazing 2024. But I’m back now and ready to be more social.

11/30 Plant Pick Up Post

Hello! Did everyone enjoy the Thanksgiving weekend? We sure did.

We’ve gotten some good rain, with more on the way. That’s always a good thing. Got a little chilly last night, and more of it tonight. One advantage of nativescaping with plants native to our zone 9 is they don’t need to be covered during the normal cold snaps.
