Green Isle Gardens
Green Isle Gardens specializes in the production of Florida native plants. They offer landscape design using native ground cover plants, native trees and shrubs, native wildflowers, and native vines. The nursery has 8 acres under production and features more than 150 species of native plants. Plants are grown without using pesticides with the goal of preserving nature, and all its critters, in mind.
The Value of Natives
Since native plants are adapted to local environmental conditions, they require far less water, maintenance, and fertilizer - benefiting both the environment and your wallet! Native plants provide vital habitat and food for numerous animals including birds, butterflies, and pollinators. Many species of butterfly rely entirely on a single species of plant for their existence.
We usually visit the nursery once or twice a year. Members of FNPS receive a 10% discount.
