exotic plant nurseries in Orlando area
Comments (1)Let me know if you find any! The only place I can think of that has somewhat exotic stuff is Blodgett's nursery on edgewater dr. Appenberry's is also just south of there but they mainly have expensive stuff, not so exotic. :) Brad's Buds and Blooms has some nice things but you have to make an appointment and it is in Geneva which is a little ways away....See MoreOrlando nursery recommendations
Comments (6)There's a great place on Hwy 46 in Sanford. Not the Garden Rebel place - the other one. I think it's run by a couple of women but can't recall the name of the store. They carry things I don't see at the other local stores. Very colorful, but not inexpensive. It's just west of Sanford and worth the trip. I still LOVE Apenberry's, but have given up on Lukas. I agree that it used to be the standard by which all other nurseries in the area were judged but a lot has changed at Lukas in recent years. Right down the street from Apenberry's is Blodgett's. They always have something unusual and I love hunting through their 'not terribly organized' shelves of plants. It's an adventure! Biosphere is a treasure trove and not to be missed. This one is worth a long drive. Kate...See MoreOrlando Area Nurseries
Comments (14)If there is one place to visit I would go to Leu Gardens. It's easy to get to and it has the best and biggest variety of plants in the area. I would spend a morning or late afternoon there and enjoy. It's at it's best when the camelias are blooming, but it has a beautiful rose garden, a very nice butterfly garden and a wide variety of other flowering plants, bushes and trees. You might see a gator also. Lukas Nursery is the biggest in the area, but near Disney Biosphere is an excellent nursery to visit, especially if you are into native plants and those that attract butterflies and hummingbirds. If you plan to visit, shoot me an email. I always like to go to Biosphere....See MoreISO Good Nurseries/Knowledgeable Staff in Orlando
Comments (8)I would second the vote on Lukas. They are expensive, but the selection is great and they have great staff. For annuals their prices are on a par with Home Depot and Lowes (.88 for 4" pot). I like to go there for annuals because they often have some unusual ones. Found some duck foot coleus there that I just loved one year. They also will special order plants for you. A friend ordered a some wisteria through them, even though they warned her not to ("Wisteria WILL NOT grow here!) She proved them wrong, though - you should see her back yard is brimming with the stuff - and doing very well. Unfortunately she's moved from Oviedo so I won't see her gorgeous wisteria blooming in the spring next year. Anyway, Lukas is great. They have coupons in the Orlando Sentinel from time to time. Used to have web coupons, too, but haven't seen those in awhile. Here is a link that might be useful: Lukas Nursery web site...See Morewanna_run_faster
