Florida Native Species Availability List

Do you know the original habitat in which your property was situated? To work with nature in your landscape, you should! Please know that native plants, like any, must be selected to match the environmental conditions of your property. Native plants provide the best basis for wildlife gardening with native flora and fauna having evolved in tandem and interdependance.

We can provide you with assistance with the best choices of plants and design for attracting and supporting life in your garden. Endangered species of plants and creatures are both tied to habitat loss; we can no longer afford lifeless, vanity gardens! Please consider the ultimate in xeric (xeriscape) landscaping; choose a properly selected Florida beauty.
