# Native Plant Nursery & Contract Growing
A number of our clients, whose large projects have required more than our normal inventories, have come to rely on us to provide Contract Growing services. As many companies have discovered, the crucial element to assure availability of the native plants and trees they need is through a dedicated arrangement. Through planning ahead with us as your partner, we can help you secure all of the plants and trees that you may need when you need them. More and more buyers are using our contract growing service to ensure their plant and tree schedule is to specification and is available on time and on budget.

Here we see progression photos of a large habitat creation area. Our crews planted hundreds of thousands of plants with a diverse group of plant species. We installed herbaceous plants, ground covers, grasses, shrubs, and small and large trees. Even before we finished planting, wildlife was coming in to survey the new habitat. Wading birds [...]

# Panther Island Progression
Here we see progression photos of a large habitat creation area. Our crews planted hundreds of thousands of plants with a diverse group of plant species. We installed herbaceous plants, ground covers, grasses, shrubs, and small and large trees. Even before we finished planting, wildlife was coming in to survey the new habitat. Wading birds were most commonly noticed in the planting area, but we also encountered American alligators (from a safe distance).
In a few months, the wetland will be filled in nicely as the plants start to spread and reproduce. As the area matures, more wildlife species will call this area home as the trees and shrubs will provide food and cover. This project expanded over 70 acres and we are proud of the end result. Our team proudly dedicated several weeks to this project in our mission to grow, enhance, and restore Florida’s natural habitats. (Click on the photo to open slideshow)

# Building A Florida Scrub Habitat
We started a new way to exhibit at last year’s FNGLA Landscape Show by showcasing an ecosystem found in Florida. At this year’s show, we decided to construct a Florida scrub habitat. Within the exhibit, we used many different species found in a typical scrub jay and gopher tortoise habitat. We started our new exhibit by using over 250 bags of mulch to form upland hill areas and burrows for gopher tortoises. Once this was formed, we covered the bags with several hundred pounds of beautiful white sugar sand that is typically found in these scrub environments. Our booth was filled a huge array of natives species including; sand live oak, runner oak, calamint, lyonia, liatris and prickly pear cactus. In order to make our booth more realistic, we brought in replicas of scrub jay birds, gopher tortoises, and multiple old fence posts connected to barbed wire fencing. We received many positive comments on our booth as well as opportunities to teach others about this distinctive habitat.

# FNGLA Landscape Show
This year’s FNGLA Landscape Show was a hit for us in which we actually won the “Best of Show” booth! We decided to exhibit in a new and distinctive way by showcasing a natural Florida ecosystem that had been recently restored. In past years, we always brought a selection of our nicest plants to display, but we wanted to start including the environmental services division into our exhibits.
The ecosystem that was displayed was a restored Pine Flatwood. This type of plant community is ravaged by fire, seasonal drought and flooding. We demonstrated this ecosystem by using slash pine, longleaf pine, lyonia, wax myrtle, and of course loads of wiregrass. We also used animal friendly plants like beautyberry and saw palmetto.
Dappled throughout our exhibit were dead melaleuca trees that had been girdled and sprayed with herbicide. Melaleuca is an abundant exotic weed tree growing throughout south Florida. Our company is hired throughout the year to combat this exotic nuisance tree as well as other invasive species.
Looking forward to next years Landscape Show!
