I love plants and stumbled across Kerby's a few years ago, and it has quickly become one of my favorite nurseries. One of the things I enjoy most is being able to walk around aimlessly and explore the wide variety of trees and plants they offer. Every visit feels a little different depending on the season, and I love seeing what new plants and flowers are available. I've always had positive experiences with the employees--they're friendly, helpful, and clearly passionate about what they do. This is my go-to spot when I'm looking for milkweed to support butterflies or when I want to find a new, beautiful plant to attract bees. My one small complaint is that some items can be priced a bit higher compared to other places, so I occasionally shop around depending on what I'm looking for. That said, the quality and variety often make it worth the extra cost. Overall, Kerby's is a great nursery with an impressive selection, knowledgeable staff, and a welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend it to fellow plant lovers. read more

Not open until 11AM on Sunday? Really bad. Drive 20 minutes to get there. Wanted to get some plants and get to work on a Sunday morning. Really disappointing read more

What a great nursery! Everything is so beautifully cared for and pristinely clean. The staff members are genuinely friendly and helpful. It was so much fun going to their pumpkin patch display to choose a pumpkin to carve for Halloween. The nursery is also dog friendly (please keep your dogs on a leash). We will definitely be back for our gardening needs. read more

I really enjoyed walking through this lovely plant nursery in seffner! They seem to have it all; yard decor, planters, annuals and outdoor plants, fertilizer and pest treatments, indoor houseplants, and more! They even have a beautiful butterfly garden! Prices may be slightly higher than what I normally pay, but that could also be because everything is higher priced than what we normally pay everywhere in general. Still, not outrageous in price. Customer service was fine. We meandered through the nursery u bothered (which I prefer). I can't recall anyone ever checked on us though. But the person who checked us out was great! Super friendly, made sure we got signed up for the reward program, and gave us a "welcome to the kerby nursery" family welcome bag. I bought me a philodendron mican to join my plant family at home. It was priced at $15 which seems about average. Very healthy little guy and I love him already. I really want to return to grab some lamb's ear (a plant I grew up north and love love love). They also had one kind of hosta(also typically brown up north) and also saw some beautiful petunias I want. read more

I have been going to Kerbys Nursery for many years. Enjoy walking through their many different plant areas. Bought a few plants & pots there. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I went to a couple of their seminars & they were very helpful. read more

Came to town for a funeral. Instead of flowers, family members were asked what was the decease's favorite tree or fruit and where would they like it planted. A mulberry tree & front yard were the answers. Kirby's was the only place in the area with great choices ,reasonable prices, and great service. Mission was accomplished without incident. Loved the spacious grounds , like walking through the Garden of Eden! read more

Great plant shop located Inside Kerby's nursery. I never knew how many plants there were until I came here. What an amazing variety. They even have a section for pet friendly plants. They do online services as well for those who shop online for their plants. They can be sent to them or picked up at Kerby's. How nice and convenient is that! Check this out for you plant and green thumb people! It's amazing! read more

Wonderful nursery. All kinds of plants. The workers are polite helpful and knowledgeable.

Me and my dad always love coming here for their amazing selection of plants! The staff are all angels and Patrick was a giant help answering every question (we had quite a few ) and making sure we even had water as we left because of how hot it was. I freaking Love kerbys read more

I've been wanting to check out this nursery for so long and I'm so happy I finally stopped by. The property is bigger than pictures made it seem to be, which was great news because they really do have plenty of options to choose from. I'm mostly interested in indoor plants for my apartment, but for those looking for trees or flower bushes then just know that Kerby's does have a good selection as well. I love that they have signs in front of the plants giving you care instructions to help you determine which will thrive under your home conditions. read more

First time I visited this plant nursery. Lots of parking more then most nurseries. Most all of the plants are labeled. They have a very large variety of the plants. They provide a large class on the plants. They have setup a boardwalk to walk on throughout the nursery. The employees there are very helpful and kind. The bathrooms are big and very clean. They are a bit pricey on a couple of things, this is why they have 4 stars. It was a very good visit and definitely will be back. read more

Excited that I found this place! Lots and lots of options and a pleasant stroll if you wanted to spend some time looking at the plants since it's pretty big. They have lots of flower options, some herbs and gardens (bit pricier than home depot or lowes but had more of a variety of choices), a pretty big houseplants section, pots of all sizes, succulents, and lots of fruit trees (figs, tangerines, kumquat, etc.). I think they had a separate area of other trees too, but we didn't go to that area. I also noticed a lot of more rare and unique plants, so this is definitely not the place for budget friendly options. Though of course you can find mini succulents for a few bucks. The staff were also very friendly. I saw some staff making wood tables and others were watering the plants. Every area and section we walked to, there was a staff person asking us if we needed help or had questions. We did not feel awkward just browsing. There were also lots of art pieces and water fountains all around. We sat at some benches and soaked in all the plant life for a while! Got my small fiddle leaf for $16 and I love it! Definitely a fan and would go back if I was in the area read more

It's always interesting and exciting to go to this nursery to look for our gardening and plant needs. I especially like shopping during butterfly season and buying milkweed and other plants that attract butterflies to our yard. The staff is nice it is usually well-stocked when we go there and I highly recommend it. read more

Was recommended to this nursery awhile ago and have been popping in & out ever since! This place is awesome and they make it easier to walk around than most nurseries I've been to. They have wooden walkways and gravel so you're not walking thru dirt. The nursery is outdoors but there is a covered area that's shaded for the type of plants that require more shade. The nursery is probably one of the nicest I've been to. They have everything you could want, obviously depending on the time of the year. They constantly get things as they are in season. The staff are all nice and extremely helpful. If you ask a question and they can't help you, they will get someone who can! I find the workers to be knowledgeable. I had a picture on my phone of some shrubs I had a problem with and they were extremely helpful. You may pay a few dollars more maybe than say Home Depot or Lowe's, but it's worth it. The quality of plants and trees are so much better! Also, as I said, the staff are knowledgeable and will explain how to care for your purchase and will answer any questions you may have. If you want something delivered and installed they can do that for a fee too. I am waiting for them to get a particular tree in and I will be having a bunch of them delivered and planted. I will do a review update after my trees are delivered and planted. read more

I went there last Friday. The man who helped me was very patient and knowledgeable. I was impressed with what he knew about plants. I had him show me all around the place, and he me er once got annoyed. They had the most beautiful pots and a bogoho sale. I ended up spending a small fortune but it was so worth it. The plants are beautiful and the pots stunning. That was the most fun I have had buying plants. Enjoy everyone!!! read more

I thought this place was cute and friendly!! The only thing stopping me from coming back are the prices. I don't blame them because it takes a lot of time and energy and devotion to maintain such a beautiful place, but if you check out some of my other reviews you'll probably notice I'm a cheap-o when it comes to plants. :') Either way this place is a kid-friendly nursery with young, friendly staff and fun things to do! The stand out attractions not usually found in other nurseries are the butterfly mural you can take pics with and the cute butterfly garden enclosure. Other than that, Kerby's is a standard typical nursery with a variety of trees, bushes, flowers, and houseplants. I must say, I was surprised at how pricey some of the outdoor plants and flowers were compared to other nurseries and garden centers I've visited, such as in Land O' Lakes. There was definitely a noticeable difference, especially if you buy more than one plant. The trees were a decent price for their sizes though, and they had lovely palms. The indoor plant section had a hugeee variety that was fun to explore! There was a rather large Hoya section which was fun to see and a table of rarer plants that are harder to find. When houseplant prices go over $50 my brain kind of stops processing so I can't say which plants they were :") what I CAN say is that some big box stores like Home Depot/Lowe's have been pumping out Hoyas so a couple of them at Kerby's were wayyy out of my price range in comparison. I ended up getting a Hoya tricolor because of the flowers I'll hopefully be seeing in a couple of years and my godmom got a Madagascar palm because it looked really cool and you can't find it just anywhere. While the staff was filled with young, bubbly employees, I question their knowledge of houseplants (at least the employees I spoke to). One girl called the Madagascar palm a Sago palm and told us to water it once a week, and that we would have to repot it into a bigger pot, and she told me to water my Hoya 2-3 days depending on the environment. :'( I'm not the type to go with watering schedules because there's a host of factors that affect how quick soil dries. The Madagascar palm is actually a succulent/cacti and Hoyas are tropical succulents so both would probably get root rot if I watered them with the schedule she told me, as they hold water in their bodies/leaves really well. The cactus's roots were also not visible from the pot and there weren't superficial deformities on the plant so I'm not sure why she recommended repotting. However, this was just one instance and I'm sure the other employees have a range of knowledge on other plants; I'm just pointing out my own observations since I'm picky with my plants. All in all, Kerby's Nursery is a fun, family-friendly garden center with lots of plants to explore. I can't say I'll be back though because the prices were a bit much for me, but I'm still happy to support! read more

Hey kiddos, there's a new pumpkin patch in town. And by town, I mean the eastern side of Hillsborough county! Kerby's Nursery and Landscaping in Seffner has the most festive, spectacular pumpkin display I've seen in a long time! And it's free!!! Such great autumnal displays for colorful photos of the kids or to practice your photography skills. You can't miss the enormous wall of pumpkins when you pull into their large parking lot. Even if you went for a quick trip for fertilizer or a basil plant, you are immediately drawn to this magnificent display of harvert happiness! You can walk thru the doorway of the pumpkin wall to the sweetest display of fall joy you've ever seen. They have an attendant to help you in the pumpkin area. This way customers don't pluck one of the display pumpkins off the pumpkin wall! Everything I glanced at had a price sticker on it and the prices seemed fair for a family run nursery. Quality isn't cheap but they definitely don't rob you at the register for your child's perfect pumpkin pick! They have several pumpkin and guard varieties such as conus big stem, gladiator, cinderella, prize winner, jack be littles and jarrhdale to name a few. Now when's the last time you've been to a pumpkin patch and had such a unique variety of pumpkins to make your fall and Halloween displays something to remember?! They have spectacular fall flowers too! Mums a plenty! They had displays with hay bales and corn stalks too but I am not sure if they're for purchase. While you're there be sure to checkout The Butterfly House. It's a free interactive butterfly enclosure. Monarchs and Gulf Fritillary are the two common butterfly's you'll see fluttering around you while you're there. They sell all the plants and flowers you'd need to make a butterfly garden at home. You may even get lucky and bring home a few eggs or chrysalis on your new plants! They've got a few large butterfly wall murals for one of a kind photo ops! Kerby's has meticulously organized paths leading you to several different areas in their garden. They have all of their plants, trees, flowers, herbs, pots and supplies grouped together for the novice and expert gardener alike to plan their garden projects successfully! Kerby's can assist you with fountains, ponds and water features. As well, you can shop for all the indoor plants you would need to pull off that new boho chic look! So if you come to check a garden project off your to do list, be sure to stop and admire the pumpkin display! read more

I'm still in the parking lot, writing this! Kerby's knew I was set to drop over $250+ & they just lost me FOREVER as a customer. I came in, explaining what I was looking for - a very large 18"--20" pot for my Heliconia that's being delivered tomorrow. The price of all of Kerby's pots, in the size I needed, ranged in price anywhere from $100 to well over $200, no small change! Also, I found a gorgeous Ming Aralia, which is a difficult house plant to find, and needed a pot for that too. I asked one of the high school kids who worked there if he could re-pot it for me. Of course I was going to pay a fee for the service! He acted like it was a bother to him. What? Anybody who is buying a houseplant may ask for it to be re-potted into a nice pot. You should offer this service; most other places do, as this is simple customer service. He also tried to trick me by telling me this plant needed a bigger pot than normal because he said it "had a bigger root system" than other plants. He's wrong, it does not have a big root system. I've had this plant before in my home and happen to know it has a smaller root system than normal and that the roots don't grow and become root bound fast, so if anything, it requires a smaller pot than normal. What it requires is a pot 2" bigger than the pot it's already in, and the salesman is telling me it requires a pot 4"--6" larger, which would actually be detrimental to the plant. I was a Manager at a greenhouse/florist/flower shop, so I consider myself somewhat educated on this subject. I don't like a place that tries to play you the fool by automatically taking advantage of you, thinking you have no knowledge. After waiting around forever for someone to wait on me, I finally got disgusted from being in the heat too long, and I had to hunt someone down to ask them to ring up my Ming Aralia! No one asked me at this point what pots I had decided on, yet I had consulted with them, asked for a yardstick to measure the circumference, etc. They knew I was a serious buyer. Just a suggestion: Why don't you install "misters" around your property? Your customers won't be dropping like flies, and neither will your employees. Just some friendly advice, take it or leave it. read more

Grab a wagon as you stroll around. Plants of all sizes, shapes, and colors. Selections are well placed throughout the premises. Meander through the grounds and don't forget to check out their lepidopterarium (butterfly conservatory)! The customer service is efficient, knowledgable, and nice. Price are very competitive. @kirbysnursery read more

Yes, the prices are higher but the quality of the plants are top notch. If you buy a flowering plant it will continue to grow and bloom, not just look pretty at the nursery. read more

Great customer service and plant variety, but very overpriced. The glazed ceramic pots are ridiculously expensive as compared to other places. This is a good place to get those rare plants you won't see at the big box stores though. Also beware of the wasps!

I love Kerby's! We've been buying our plants, shrubs, and trees from them for a while now. Everything we've purchased still thrives in our yard today. The quality of the plants and the care that they give to them well surpasses any of their competitors. They are a bit more expensive than other nurseries, but it's worth it for the quality. They landscaped my mother's backyard and made it manageable for her. All 4 of her beautiful crepe myrtles were purchased and planted by Kerby's Nursery. Her neighbors love them. I have been super happy with my butterfly garden. They got me interested in butterfly gardening about 8 years ago. I now have about 6 different types of butterflies (born & raised) that frequent my garden (every year). I admittedly hadn't been back to the nursery for a while since the butterfly host plants either grow back (after the winter) and/or reseed themselves. I did have to go back recently in April to purchase more butterfly nectar plants because I had a crisis. I had about 20 Monarchs that were in the chrysalis stage of the life cycle. None of my plants had started blooming yet. I was in desperate need of nectar plants. I was able to find a couple of nectar plants to hold them over (a buddleia butterfly bush & other flowering plants) until the rest of my plants could bloom. Kerby's has never let me down. This place truly has a huge variety of all different types of plants. The staff and owners are very knowledgeable and helpful. I've never been disappointed with any of the pots or plants I've purchased. I'll continue to be a loyal customer. read more

Great selection. Honestly a fun place to just walk around and admire all of the plants they have

I went here for the last series of their summer gardening and I could just beat myself up... I loved the class so much that I would I could of attended every class! Also, they serve a basil infused lemonade. Try it. It's amazing. This place is so wonderful. They have all kinds of plants and flowers and to me they are reasonably priced. I bought some garlic chives there and paid about the same price I would pay if I went to lowes. Someone commented that this place didn't have all the plants there. WELL DUH. They sell Plants by season. Plants like cilantro wouldn't be sold in the dead of summer like in August because cilantro only flourishes in cool weather. They sell plants by what's in season just like fruits and veggies go on sale at a super market when they're in season . I love this place and I can't wait until their new workshop series starts because I will be at everyone. The owner loves plants and you can truly tell. This place is such a gem!! read more

Kerby's Nursery - I purchased a garlic chive plant as recommended by the owner. Used them on my eggs and they are amazing! Plant is healthy too! - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Seffner, Florida

Lovely nursery. We unfortunatley didn't get to spend too much time with them since we got there, saw the pumpkin patch, and then it started pouring! We had to run back to our car and it didn't really let up. Fortunately, we grabbed a few pics in their areas. They are very well set up for picture taking (with painted feet to help you know where to stand for the best view!) and information on how to share via social media. The nursery itself was well maintained, clean, and split up into cute little areas easy to walk through. We didn't get a chance to shop around, which was totally the plan, so I can't tell you if it's priced fairly or how the check out process goes. The parking is ample enough and the location is easy enough to find. The go-to definitely right now is the pumpkin patch which is small enough to not seem overwhelming but also big enough to grab multiple angles of the family. I'd recommend it and I'd love to go back one day if possible. read more

I was excited to see that they were having a sale on their pottery - buy one get one 50% off, but I was not happy to see the price tags on their pottery. Yes, they are very nice but I do not really wish to spend that much on pottery. All of the pottery that i saw was $40 and up. Some were in the hundreds. We were also disappointed that they were not carrying veg plants. They only carry them during certain months of the year. June is not one of them. They did seem to have a large variety of other plants (succulents, flowers, etc.). read more

Short Organize, friendly staff. Wide selection from house plants to trees. Long We came here for the first time just to look around nursery's in the Tampa Bay area. Weren't expecting to buy plants, but we bought quite a few, mainly houseplants. Selection is large. It is well organized compared to other nursery's we've been to. They even have carts you can use, with nice wooden paths built on the property. The place is arrange well, feels like I'm at a garden. We spoke to one of the workers there and she told us they do have free classes there. There is one more before the end of this year and it will start back up again next year. While walking around, I was surprised to see so many tropical fruit trees. From jackfruit, dragonfruit, lychee, many different citrus, and more. I'll probably be back to grab one of those eventually. Something worth mentioning: we were able to bring our small dog into Kerby's Nursery while shopping around. It's always nice knowing about dog friendly places. Overall, I definitely will be back and recommend this nursery to my friends/family. read more

This place is amazing for those of you that have a green thumb and for those of you that do not, there is plenty of staff around who are willing to educate you based on what you need. This nursery is arranged like a beautiful garden, except the plants are for sale.They provide different sizes of rolling carts depending on how much plants you need to buy. There's wooden walkway pads throughout this mostly outdoor nursery to make it easier to get around with your carts. There is a covered area for plants that require a little more shade or indoor plants. Inside, there are gardening supplies and checkout. To my surprise, they actually sell tropical/Caribbean fruit plants such as, but not limited to two varieties of lychees, Ruby supreme guava, macadamia nut, jackfruit, London berries, soursop, cashew nut, Tamrind, Akee, and the list goes on. At the time that I was shopping here, I noticed that they had nine different species of the mango! Around this time, they were also getting the place prepared for the Christmas holiday upcoming. The woman at the register made me aware that they are having an upcoming Christmas event open to the public in December which is supposed to be really nice. I personally think this place is awesome for any kind of landscaping work you want to do. Even if you are not much of a green thumb and want to be a minimalist with your plants, they have plants for that too. This place is worth visiting if you happen to be in the area. read more
