I've been to quite a few nurseries, and I think I've officially found my new favorite! This place…read morejust has a great vibe. Everything is laid out so nicely and feels more like you're wandering through a beautiful garden than shopping at a nursery. They have a great selection of plants, bushes, and trees. I came in specifically looking for a mango tree and somehow ended up having to make a very serious decision between a Pram Kai Mae Ua and an Orange Sherbet. After some deliberation, I went with the Pram! The carts are big and easy to maneuver, and I especially appreciated the wide aisles. There's also a little coffee shop inside and a cooler with drinks, which is a nice bonus. They have a great selection of pots, décor, fountains, and other garden items, so there's plenty to explore. I'll definitely be back for some milkweed plants--the ones here were covered with butterflies, which was such a great sight. The staff were super friendly and helpful when I had questions without being pushy. Great selection, beautiful setup, friendly people, and a really enjoyable atmosphere. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

Buyer Beware -- Smarty Plants on Dixie Hwy We purchased two…read moreplants from Smarty Plants on Saturday, August 15, 2026. When we got home, we discovered that both plants had worms eating them. Smarty Plants is closed Sunday and Monday, so I returned on Thursday, August 20, as soon as I was able, expecting to exchange the plants for healthy ones. They refused. Unfortunately, this was not my first disappointing experience with this business. About a year ago, I spent at least an hour with one of their staff members discussing plants that would be suitable for my west-facing balcony on the Intracoastal. I specifically wanted something fragrant and flowering, and their staff recommended a gardenia. When the gardenia failed to thrive, I returned with photos and was advised to purchase a water-measuring device. I bought the device, only to find that it didn't work. When I returned to the store, they refused to refund or exchange that item as well. I understand that plants can have problems, but I expect a plant nursery to stand behind the plants and products it sells--especially when a customer discovers a pest problem immediately after purchase. After multiple experiences like this, I can no longer recommend Smarty Plants. If you shop there, inspect your plants very carefully before leaving the store and don't assume that the store will make things right if you have a problem.

The disco ball hanging planter was my favorite. You can even spot the magical unicorn that is protecting the property. There are funny sign everywhere that elicit a chuckle. The Garden Hole makes me want to plant something.

As far as the other review saying he was saying racist things to the customer's neighbors... that had me scratching my head in puzzlement to the point where I wondered if the customer who left this review was confused and perhaps left it for the wrong company? (this has been known to happen on yelp). I and my wife are people of color ourselves and on top of that we are both Muslims so needless to say that's a "double strike" right there if one is prejudiced to begin with :P .... but I detected absolutely no prejudice whatosover from Keith nor his wife.... just friendly, polite, courteous, professional service.

Karin the Edible Gardening Gal was referred to me by Marando Farms owner, Chelsea Marando. What a great thing to happen to me. I had just begun to grow my own food, and had no idea what was involved. Karin quickly got me up to speed and taught me everything she knows. We have the best time laughing and she never tires of my mistakes. We just simply, correct it. When I tell her I want to grow something, she allows me the space to try, even if she knows it will not work. She says, "the only way to learn is to try, and sometimes you fail, but sometimes you don't". I love that about her, because that's the sign of a true teacher passing on their wisdom, but allowing the student to find their own way. I just planted my raised bed garden at Marando Farms, for the third season, and Karin was right by my side, guiding me. What a great gift she has been to me and my edible gardening life. Thanks Karin.
