Jordan was very knowledgeable, helpful and very friendly. She took the time to explain the different trees that my husband and I were asking about. Southern Horticulture was the 4th nursery that we had visited, and by far one of the nicest, well stocked, largest variety of plants/trees that we had visited as of late. We purchased 3 trees, a flowering bush, seeds and a lovely stepping stone. We highly recommend this nursery for your plant/tree garden needs :) Mike and Jamie Flagler Beach Fl read more

Great staff with knowledge of all their plants! Wonderful selection and variety. Displays highlighted their pots and plants. read more

We traveled an hour North for 3 Chinese Viburnum (snowball trees) as there were zero in Volusia or Orange counties. The nursery was nicely arranged, and resplendent with healthy plants for both indoors and outside - quite a few I'd not seen at local-to-me plant stores. Definitely worth the drive. I know we'll be back again Spring 2025. read more

Good selection, plants and pots, lots of friendly staff who will carry things for you and be patient with you picking out the perfect plant. They offer ideas and are knowledgeable. They took everything to my car and helped load it. I felt prices were also reasonable for the level of service and they take great care of their plants! I'll be back!! Oh and a little gift shop and local honey for sale!! read more

See all

Buyer Beware! While the staff were friendly and helpful and their selection was impressive, I had a disappointing experience. I purchased two trees for $300 each and six plants for $20 each. I planted everything the same day. Within a week, the trees began losing leaves, and four of the plants looked wilted. I thought they might be in shock, so I diligently watered them three times a day. By the next week, it was clear that the trees and four of the plants were dead or dying. When I returned to the store, I was informed that they do not offer any warranty on their plants. If you buy a thousand-dollar tree and it dies a week later, you are out $1,000. I just learned a $600 lesson. While Home Depot and Lowes may have lower quality plants, at least they provide a warranty. Southern Horticulture should be ashamed of this practice. read more

Always friendly and helpful. I go there to get some plants and small trees for my bonsai hobby. All the help there always are very helpful showing me different plants. I come with a walker and usually my dog Coby. Thanks read more

Their native plant selection is amazing. Everything was well organized but still a beautiful flowering jungle.

Great inventory and a super friendly and helpful staff. They have a large variety of plants and annuals, as well as a nice selection of planters and pots. Definitely a place to check out if you looking for plants or garden accessories. read more

We made the drive from Jacksonville and it was well worth it. This nursery has the most friendly staff ever, and they each greeted us and asked if we needed help many times over even on a packed Saturday morning. Parking on site was a little limited but there is some street parking and we parked across the road at a business that was closed on weekends. We wandered around with our dog (who they welcomed with open arms) and found some plants we couldn't pass up. Everything was competitively priced and healthy. There was no wait to check out and we found a few things we hadn't seen anywhere else locally. Their indoor plant selection is tucked away on the side of the checkout area but has a lot of well priced and very healthy looking specimens. Sadly their native plant section was slim pickings at the time but I've heard normally they have quite a variety. We will definitely be back. read more

With this Coronavirus thing they are taking phone orders. Just call 904-471-0440 pay with a credit card and drive over and pickup your order. I purchased 24 pieces of St Augustine sod to replace some bare spots in my lawn. Their sod is great looking - not something that has been sitting out in the hot sun & all dry. Miss being able to walk around and look at the plants but I assume they will be opening back up shortly. Friendly folks - good plants & sod. It's a 5. read more

The customer service and selection is outstanding! They had everything I needed at a lower than others price!

This nursery is always fun to stop into, although typically when I visit they consistently have the same things. I would recommend their perennial section as they have a strong array of flowering perennials. And many other Florida standard vegetation. The gardening staff here is always friendly and offering assistance! I recommend a visit! read more

I love the wide variety and many paths that one can take to stroll, admire and choose plants from. All the people that I have talked to there are extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and willing to help in anyway needed. A real local gem! read more

My family and I drove all the way from Jacksonville, specifically bc it was our understanding that masks were required in the nursery. I was very disappointed to see, not just a few, but several customers without masks. I asked about their policy and was told "masks are only required when customers were with staff". The selection was great, the staff friendly and prices pretty on point and there were signs everywhere with names and prices of the plants, making it very easy. I wish I could give this place 5 stars, but I feel slightly misled about their mask policy. We will definitely come back - but not on a weekend. A weekday when it's not so busy or after Covid is over. read more

Great selection of healthy plants, beautifully displayed. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful. Really have appreciated that everyone wears a mask! Love this place! read more

I absolutely love everything these experts did to make my front yard so beautiful! My neighbors have been stopping by and admiring the work! Jordan was great to work with! He had some ideas, I had a few and wow! Finished product is amazing! The two gentlemen that did the actual work (I'm so sorry. I'm terrible with names) were outstanding and reassured me, " we are going to make your yard beautiful". They were right! Thank you gentleman! read more

This is a nursery that has lots to choose from. Great selection of tropical and plants for Fl growing.

SH is my favorite nursery in SJC. The staff is very knowledgeable & will help you find the best plants for your location/conditions. Thank you for carrying more native plants & please continue to do so. Too few nurseries carry natives in this area. read more

My wife and I went here searching for Seagrape, lemon trees, and Creeping Jenny and found everything we needed. We were really impressed with how organized and clean the nursery was. We were greeted by several employees with smiles and information about every plant we were looking for. Would go back! read more

Always a fun walk thru their plants. Beautiful and all the staff so knowledgeable and helpful! 5 Star service! Thank YOU Bryanna for holding my plants and mulch aside for a week! Grateful! read more

We have been doing business with Southern Horticulture for many years and have enjoyed excellent service in the past. This year our experience has been very different and not very pleasant. There seems to be a great deal of confusion and hostility now. Time to look for a different garden center! read more

Beautiful spot and with friendly and knowledgable staff (who are not overbearing). The plants are all well-labeled and they have a good variety. The unique offerings set them apart from other garden retailers. The bedding plants are affordably priced, although the larger landscape plants and pots tend to be more pricey. They also have lovely garden accessories including glazed pots and fountains. Rather than just setting up the plants on palettes, everything is set up like a garden. It's a whimsical and refreshing treat that will get your green thumb going! read more

Ironically another customer suggested this place as I was browsing in Home Depot with a cart full of plants! I decided to look them up as I am new to the area. Wonderful and knowledgeable staff with budget friendly and diverse offerings. As someone with very little gardening experience but a lucky streak in a previous home, I was eager to plan out my new yard and they really took their time to work with me and were honest and genuine in their input. I was able to purchase multiple plants and three young trees for my new home with excellent insight from the staff. They also have their own soil mixture (and plenty of other brands) and offer delivery for a reasonable rate along with a few other landscape type services. Truly a one stop shop for gardening. I look forward to coming back as I continue to plant and garden around my home. read more

Felt very safe going here to purchase a tree and some plants. Beth helped us with what we were looking for and she was just so nice. We picked a Pygmy Date Palm and deer resistant My Blue Moon container plants. Patrick delivered our tree and planted it for us. He was also so nice. We highly recommend this wonderful nursery. read more

Large selection of beautiful, healthy plants at great prices! We saw monsteras in several sizes, lots of beautiful succulents from 1"-4", a handful of calatheas and alocasias, fiddle leaf figs, birds of paradise, large ZZ plants, and more. We went to another nursery in the area first and were disappointed by the condition of the plants and shocked by the prices. So glad we stopped at Southern Horticulture, it's is definitely the place to go! read more

We went here on the advice of our landscaper. With very little southern plant knowledge we were in need of advice. ( we are from the north east). With a few pictures of our home and empty spaces, Beth helped us pick many great plants. She was knowledgeable, kind and most important, patient. We will definitely be back for future plantings for other areas of our St Augustine home. But for now we couldn't be happier with the front of our yard. Thank you again Beth. read more

Absolutely gorgeous place! Judy was amazing and so very knowledgeable. Will make it a point to keep coming back here every time we visit St. Augustin. Highly recommended. read more

Jordon came by at the appointmented time and we discussed native plants that would take very little effort and water to grow. Looking forward to completing our project. read more

120 dollars and every plant I buy from here dies. And I have a pretty good green thumb. I keep giving them the benefit of a doubt because I love this nursery And the people but I'm done throwing my money away buying plants here. The only vegetable that I actually have gotten to grow are the Datil pepper plants. After planting what was going to be my butterfly garden, I have finally given up on Southern Horticulture. Only one plant out of 12 has grown. And I've tried everything to save them. I won't ever go back. Not even for a pot. read more

We love visiting here every chance we get! Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable. All our plants are doing fantastic and our peach trees are strong and healthy! read more

This place is fantastic. I used to go to another place on US1, because they were new, friendly and inexpensive. Then a new guy started working there and was of no use to me at all. Pretty much wasted my time and money. So I went to Southern Horticulture and they hooked me up with amazing plants for my English garden. And they understood what I meant when I said English garden! They have since supplied me with succulents for my cactus garden, perennials for my front garden, mulch and landscaping cloth, a fountain, many tips and instruction on tree maintenance. Also they took down and disposed of a dead palm tree in my back yard. They also helped me arrange things so my nosy neighbors couldn't peak in on me. The price is reasonable. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for. Go here if you want reliability, knowledge and an awesome yard. read more

Always very friendly, knowledgable and efficient service. They go above and beyond to meet your needs and answer any/all questions, with the intent to set you up with plants suitable to your needs and environment. The staff is professional, warm and welcoming. And the grounds are absolutely beautiful-- and inspirational! Much like a garden oasis- a wonderful place to while away some time. read more

I absolutely love this place!! The plants are great and the people are so friendly and knowledgeable. I drive from Jacksonville to get the best plants around. Thanks Southern Horticulture. This Master Gardener would be lost without you! read more

They did our front landscaping and did a fantastic job! They came when they said they would; completed the job when they said they would; were exceptionally neat, cleaning up each day; and the workers were friendly and courteous! We have also purchased additional plants from the nursery. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful without being pushy! read more

You will NEVER find a nursery filled with beautiful plants and more helpful people. It is a wonderful place to visit!!!!
