The Nursery
Growing and selling culinary plants has always been an integral part of our role in South Floridas plant community. What started as a seasonal plant sale set up on pallets at our urban farm has grown into a 5 acre plant oasis that customers can visit year round to get support in growing their own food. Our nursery is nestled in the Castellow Hammock nature preserve and shares land with French Farms, the very best veggie farm in town. Visitors can explore our greenhouse to soak in all of the information we have available on our signs and displays, walk the fields of French Farms
to see vegetables and cut flowers in different stages of their growth cycle, check out our demonstration garden to learn more about plant spacing within a rsised bed setting, and encourage their kiddos to get a little dirty in our mud kitchen. While you’re in the Redlands visit our neighbors at Patch of Heaven Sanctuary, do a nature walk in the Castellow Hammock Preserve & Nature Center, and grab some Mexican food at Taqueria Cinco Hermanos. Friendly dogs, rambunctious kids and packed picnics are welcome, we look forward to welcoming you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is everything at your nursery certified Organic?
Is everything at your nursery certified Organic?
The short answer is no, but the long answer is important. Our plants are grown using all organic inputs (soil mix, fertilizer, seeds) but they are not certified organic. Getting certified is on our long term to do list. We only sell certified organic fertilizers and pesticides and our custom soil blend contains no synthetic fertilizers or other inputs. We source many of our larger natives, pollinators, fruit & spice trees from other local nurseries and they are not organic and do contain slow release synthetic fertilizers. If you feel that you need to avoid those plants when shopping speak to an employee and they will make sure to show you who is who in our inventory. We are extremely committed to caring for the earth and our business prioritizes sustainability & soil and water health above all else.
Do you sell plants wholesale for bigger projects?
Do you sell plants wholesale for bigger projects?
Yes we do. We sell custom grown seedlings to neighboring farms, gardening companies, plant giveaways, schools and more. Wholesale plants are started just for you, so we need about 6 weeks notice to grow them to maturity. We also dream of having our plants available at other nurseries or farmers markets around town, so if you have a store and want to discuss carrying our plants we want to hear from you. To discuss a potential wholesale plant order and receive our ordering form, email Tiffany@littlerivernursery.co

Can we buy vegetables from the farm while we are visiting the nursery?
Can we buy vegetables from the farm while we are visiting the nursery?
The vegetable farm surrounding our nursery is called French Farms, and while we do not sell their produce you can order ahead on their website and pick up produce while visiting. You can also join their CSA and pick up a box of produce at the nursery every weekend. Check out their website at frenchfarms.net.
The Redlands are too far for me to come down, how else can i buy plants?
The Redlands are too far for me to come down, how else can i buy plants?
We understand that the nursery can be a far drive and finding the time to come visit can be challenging. For that reason we sell plants the first weekend of every month at the Legion Park Farmers Market in MiMo District, and we deliver plants throughout Miami. We also ship plants nationwide via our Etsy shop so if you live outside of our delivery area we can mail plants to you.
