    Up right elephant ear/ taro... incredible resilience and growth!

    Incredible location. Aside from their unique plant selections, they have an amazing ambiance even for those just looking. I bring my kids every time and let them respectfully explore while shopping around. I've been able to enhance my entire property with various plants, tree/shrubs and flowers from this location. The plant are amazing in quality and the prices are great. Whether looking for something exotic, or typically cultivated here, this is the place to go. They have crews, although I've yet to use those services and many times I see landscaping companies picking up truck loads for their projects. They also have an array of planters and pots, not to mention room for some serious zen. If you're in South Brevard, it's a must see/must go item. Highly recommend.

    A great place to get your outdoor space looking great This may seem like a remote place to go. Ok, it IS a remote place to go. You will drive miles and miles to get to it. It has a small sign on the side of the road. There is a fair sized parking lot. We went to get some new plants and planters for our garden. This site was great for that. There are many areas of different displays of pots and plants in different configurations and layouts. It gave us a lot of great ideas. The staff was awesome. We picked out some heavy planters and they helped us bring them to the front, set them up as they might look at home, fill them with dirt and put them in the car. I see thee setup that they helped me arrange in their parking lot every day in my garden. It looks beautiful thank to them. I highly recommend this for anyone wanting a great garden or to get some ideas to improve their landscape.

    Fun creations and ideas!

    I frequent MANY nurseries all over Florida. I had no idea this place existed until last month and now I'm obsessed. I love this nursery just because it is an ode to a true passion for plants. To see what they've been growing and how some of the plants in there are 10+ years; just gorgeous. If you're looking for house plants, they have all of the rare plants. The prices are fair considering the going price for these. The Thai constellation they have is the BEST price I have found, even being as pricey as it is. The only downfall of this place is it is VERY stocked but not everything is priced. Gets a little frustrating when deciding, but, the staff is extremely helpful and they will get the fair price. Overall, I love it here and it is extremely welcoming and a great place to just wander.

    The prices are too high. I've been there several times over the past 4 years looking at trees and bushes. Lots to look at and compare.

    Do you carry mango plants. We have one that never developed any fruit . Wondering is we should buy a 2nd plant?

    Mango trees grown from seed take AT LEAST seven years to flower/fruit. It may just still be too young? Is it flowering yet?

    I could not have asked for a more perfect day! My husband…read moreand I decided to get married quickly after being engaged. We only had 6 weeks from when we wanted it to be. We knew we wanted a beautiful place, intimate and where we could just show up. We researched top places for a small wedding and Rock city popped up in a top 20. After seeing the photos and being the only place with prices online, we called and they were able to meet us and show us the grounds the same day. First thing is first; not only does Vicki Green have a perfect name for her job but she also a perfect personality and love for what she does. Just walking around the garden with her and listening to her, we knew that she would be the perfect person to help us. Vicki helped us from start till literally the moment we got into our car, married. She helped with color ideas, made all the bouquets, boutonnières and corsages. She was there for the rehearsal and the day of. Helped with the music, escorting people to the bathroom and making sure people weren't walking into the bridal suite before I was ready. After the wedding she helped with making sure we had the best locations for photos. My day was stress free because of her. I honestly would not change a thing about that day. If you're on the fence, go and ask for Vicki! It was an hour away from our home, and I would have driven 2 hours.

    True, the ground are nice but buying there is another story. Unlike big box stores and many local…read moreprivately owned nurseries, Rock City Gardens does NOT stand by its inventory under new owners (who purchased in 2022) -- yet they charge significantly more than their competitors. Within six weeks of purchasing a Meyer lemon tree, its leaves turned yellow and leaves dropped, despite getting adequate water and overall care. (We're experienced gardeners) Tried to get an exchange, credit or refund -- or even an explanation -- but after several days of unanswered phone and email msgs, we finally heard back from nursery manager Stephanie who blew off our concerns and refused any assistance, citing "it's not our concern once it leaves the property." Over the years, we were devoted customers but things have steadily gone downhill with the new owners and staff.

    Emerald Island Garden Center is a fantastic garden center. My mother and I visited Emerald Island…read morebecause I was searching for a succulent to give as a gift. My mother was looking for plant pots for her garden. I'm so thankful that we came here because I found a beautiful tiny succulent plant and Cary, who was working here today was VERY knowledgeable about how to care for the plants there, including the succulent that we purchased, along with an air plant that we purchased. I've cared for succulents before and I still learned a lot about caring for succulents. Not to mention I learned how to properly care for my air plant. My mom purchased two plants for herself as well and she was told how to care for them by Cary. I also want to talk about the inside store here, it has so many beautiful plants to purchase and they also sell gifts to buy, such as beautiful jewelry. I also found out that they are working towards opening their cafe again here. This is such an amazing place, and to top it off they have Cary, who is an amazing person, working here. He was so kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend going to Emerald Island Garden Center for all of your gardening and landscaping needs.

    Went to the shop after the January freeze because I had a lot of work to do in the yard (it's…read morereally important to me) and Emerald Island is close to where I live. Steve gave me Anthony's (the owner's) card. Emailed and called Anthony. No response. But tried again. Got a nice response from Anthony, paid the price for a consultation. I knew that he was really busy so suggested talking to someone else about the basics. Anthony said he was it. Anthony got in touch with me the other night and suggested a meeting next morning (yesterday). Hung around all day and he didn't show up and I didn't hear from him. Got in touch with him today requesting a refund. In process I'm told but I'm really disappointed that not only did he not follow through with our appointment but didn't even offer a call or text explaining things (he's busy; I'd have understood) and after a text exchange today it's clear he doesn't want to. Really disappointing.
