“Proof that a nursery run can turn into a whole afternoon out.”
As summer heat keeps gardeners indoors, Guide to Florida rounded up the independent garden centers meeting the moment — offering everything from beginner-friendly greenery to rare tropical specimens, plus the expert advice to keep it all thriving. SmartyPlants Nursery + Cafe made the list.
The piece profiles nurseries across the state built around more than plant sales: Lukas Nursery in Oviedo and its butterfly conservatory, Rockledge Gardens' hands-on staff tips, Kerby's Nursery's dedicated Houseplant Shop in Tampa Bay, and Orlando's BWH Plant Co. Jungle Room and its terrarium workshops.
