Southern Horticulture - St. Augustine, Florida

Judy was so sweet, she recommended some books on Florida natives and answered some questions I had. I just moved back to Florida and want to start a native/pollinator garden and found the description signs to have a lot of helpful information (they are on most of the plants). I can tell people here love what they do and want to be as helpful as possible.

Bill Hamilton was awesome, he worked with me for weeks to get my design at the Ocean Cay HOA just right. Then he and his crew arrived early and placed our plants and rocks and instructed my volunteers about planting. Would be my privilege to purchase from them again.

Visited for the first time today. Nice selection of plants, especially natives, but not all plants are in good condition. I got snapped at by a brunette employee because I accidently went in to a "holds" area for employees only. She pointed out that there was a sign after I admitted my mistake. The "sign" was a few inches big with much of the print rubbed off. Had I entered through the large wooden gate with the actual sign, she might have had the right to have an attitude. Other customers made the same mistake that I did, but no one said anything to them. I'll stick to my regular rotation of plant stores where it's clear that they appreciate my patronage.

Okay, so I'm a plant nut, but this is one of my favorite places in St Augustine. Everything is very well organized here, the place is well-kept and they have a huge variety of things. It can be fun here to walk through the property and get ideas or learn of something you'd never heard of before. You can't help but leave here feeling a little better about life.

I think they must do a fair amount of inventory turnover and have staff that they dedicate to keeping plants looking fresh. I've never seen anything here that I thought I'd have to take home and rehabilitate. While they don't have the biggest selection I've ever seen, there are always great opportunities and I've never left without getting what I wanted or a next best substitute.

The staff here are always very helpful as well. I was in just a couple of weeks ago looking for plants for a very light-limited area and I wanted something other than my normal go-to options. The young lady there guided me through multiple different options and explained the ups/downs of each, and I left with a couple of Pothos varieties that are doing very well.

Holy moly, this place is amazing! There is so many plants and everything looked happy and healthy. While there I asked a few different questions and everyone I talked to was helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. The native section is my favorite. I saw several hard to find FL native plants. I will definitely be returning!

The staff here are super friendly/helpful/knowledgeable. The inventory is laid out well and the flow is nice and pleasant as you walk through to look. You aren't bumping in to things and you can get to everything you see to examine the items for purchase. Very peaceful place and you don't feel like the staff is trying to pressure you in to buying things.

I loved this place! We are from Ohio, and don't have the same plant selection available down here. I wanted a Majesty/Cat Palm and the staff helped us find it right away. They were super friendly and helpful. Will return the next time we're in Florida!

The service here was amazing! Pretty much everyone who crossed our path as we browsed asked if we were OK or if we needed anything 🙂 they had an amazing selection of indoor plants and they were all very knowledgeable about the plants. We got 4 new babies and they even provided us with some hanging planters so our pets don't mess with them. Love this nursery!
