Happy almost Spring gardening friends! So with much thought, we have decided not to open our little nursery again this Spring. We have decided we want to focus on our little family in our spare time, and for me personally, I dedicate a full 40(++) hours a week growing and caring for so many unique natives at the USF Botanical Gardens! That being said, come visit the plant shop for some unique native finds. 💗 The garden is open Tuesday-Sunday from 9-4.

This Sunday the 27th will be the last sale of the year, we will be open to the public from 9-12, and everything will be 10% off!! 💚Hope to see you guys Sunday!🐛🥰🦋🐦

Do you have a moister space in your yard for and amazing scented, summer blooming, deciduous shrub who gets to be about 10’?? Summersweet shrubs have started to bloom in the nursery, and they are gorgeous! 😍 limited supply of large 3 gallon individuals for $23 — come pick up yours today until 2pm before they are all gone!

Come by today until 2 and adopt some natives! (We’re almost, maybe, HOPEFULLY getting into rain season where we can water less)!

And if any of you are looking for *native* plant sales specifically, then hopefully you’ll stop by and say hello to us tomorrow from 9-2! 😊💚

The radar is currently showing no rain tomorrow, but lots of wind! Hope all of our Pasco friends have happily rain watered gardens after this week (that dry spell was rough)!

This lovely little farm in Odessa will be giving away 2,000 NATIVE milkweeds to attendees 💚 (incarnata and perennis)
Love this 🥰
Their butterfly garden is beautifully done if you’re looking for some inspiration also ;)

Raprager Family Farm's Fun Family Farm! Hayrides, Farm Animals, Gem Mining, and Festivals Galore!

Some lovelies in bloom in our little nursery currently 🥰💚
Come by and see us Sunday the 30th from 9-2, or make an alternate appointment to pick up some natives!

Hope to see you this Sunday between 9-2 native gardening friends🥰 🌱🌼🌸🐛🦋

I took a LONG drive and picked up SO MANY amazing plants recently 💚 Below are a few quick photos of some things in bloom this evening. 🥰

We will be doing some re-organizing over the next week or two, and will have an updated inventory ready for you guys before we resume our plant sale days starting Sunday the 26th from 9-2.
But just an FYI — Instead of every Saturday like we did last year, we will be doing the last Sunday of every month, but you may still schedule appointments or pickups on other days. 💚

Be patient with us, as we are only an army of 2 (who also have other full time jobs), and we will continue to bring awesome natives to New Port Richey and grow together! 😊

Photos don’t do this somewhat uncommon butterfly justice. Healthy trees can tolerate mistletoe, leave some if you can 💚

Happy Holidays!

If you see mistletoe this holiday season, as a decoration or outdoors, think of the Great Purple Hairstreak (Atlides halesus).

Mistletoe is the only host plant for this native butterfly, meaning that it is where this species lays its eggs and will be the first thing a new caterpillar eats when it hatches. In Florida, American or oak mistletoe (Phorandendron serotinum) is most commonly found in laurel oaks.
