We were bitten by the plant bug  with the purchase of a small nursery in Homestead, Florida in 1970. We associated with many of the tropical plant enthusiasts and nurserymen of the area. We became very interested in palms in particular, and joined the International Palm Society. We then began importing seed, and growing many palms never tried in the USA. We experimented with many new palms, looking for plants suitable for growing conditions in the Southeastern US, subtropical and mild temperate climates. We funded our mad hobby by selling our excess seedlings and older plants to the public, nurserymen, and providing new plants to institutions, like the metro zoo, Fairchild Tropical Gardens, and others around the country. After we had grown many different exotics and natives in South Florida, we relocated to the Atlanta metro Georgia area.
There, we experimented with palms and other exotic tropical plants in a temperate area. We were always pushing the envelope on how much cold a plant could take before being hurt. We met many great plant people there, too, and joined the Southeastern Palm and Exotic Plant Society. We have now made our home on the space coast of central Florida, where we can expand more, and provide more variety of plants to both subtropical and temperate gardens.

We are committed to providing our customers with good service and strong plants that will grow well for them in their gardens.
