We are always happy when we can go there and we get great recommendations and guidance!

Really knowledgeable and friendly people. They listen and make recommendations based on your ideas and their expertise with the native plants of Florida. They'll ask about sun exposure, drainage, and what you are looking for with foliage. Very thorough and professional. Highly recommended! read more

Will return. All native. All green. Many butterflies. w Mmm I've no green thumb. My only time 'gardening' is during my supermarket trips, when I see a pretty orchid (have you seen an ugly orchid or flowers?!?) I buy it or them, start of my many gardening -:) journeys.

Thanks to another Yelper-Michael H. I have fallen in love with growing my own butterfly garden. I researched my area and found someone who told me Sweet Bay Nursery was the place to go nearby. It really was close so we drove right over. Kathryn greeted and helped me pick out the best plants to attract and keep up with the growing caterpillars. I started small with only 8 plants. 4 plants for the front and 4 for the back. Two swamp milkweed which doesn't sound great but are beautiful, two white twinevine which will grow tall on a tripod of bamboo poles and 4 yellow heliotropes. Kathryn is a wealth of knowledge about butterflies and the plants. She was so helpful and explained what we needed to be successful. Tom, the owner, checked us out. knew what all about the plants and set me up with a pile of literature to read to become more knowledgeable about creating a habitat. He was also wonderful and so helpful. If you are looking for plants-especially, plants, bushes and trees that are good for pollinators and plants for creatures that are losing their habitat. They also have related materials for the plants like bamboo poles. They have a large area with so much that I can't imagine them not having what you need. They have a wall of pamphlets with information of tons of topics and field guides to purchase. I highly recommend Sweet Bay Nursery. Thank you to Sweet Bay Nursery. I appreciate them (and Yelper Michael H. for getting me started). I can't wait to watch the cocoons, caterpillars and beautiful butterflies enjoying the garden! I will definitely be back!! read more

I have bought thousands of plants from Sweet Bay for my plant installations, public workshops, and teaching at Stocking Savvy and no one in Florida has such a diversity of Native Plants as Sweet Bay does. If you want it, they generally have it, or can find it. They also have a great array of bat, bee, and bird houses, seeds, posters, soil, and a crack team of staff that can solve any gardening issue! Attached is one of my favorite plants from there a Mangrove Spider lily. Do you have a sandy yard, shaded yard, wetland, or just want to attract the birds and bees? Don't go to home depot, go to Sweet Bay! read more

Sweet Bay Nursery - Mangrove Spider Lily from Sweet Bay Nursery. - Home & Garden Near Me - Parrish, Florida

Amazing selection of Native Florida plants. The staff was incredibly helpful. I live in Tampa and this establishment is worth the drive. Not too far from 75! Each plant is clearly labeled and ideal growing conditions listed. Everything from groundcovers to established trees. The best part about native plants, us that they are conditioned to the Florida weather and will hold up better than what you may find at the box stores. Tons of great plants for the bees and butterflies! read more
