Visit Us
Our edible plant nursery has been growing and sourcing high quality vegetable, tropical fruit, culinary herb & spice plants for Miami residence for more than 10 years. We use all OMRI certified inputs in our seedlings (potting mix, fertilizers & pesticides) however we are not certified organic.
We pride ourselves on our diverse selection of varieties ranging from easy to grow classics like kale and tomatoes to hard to find rare plants like black pepper vine and klip dagga. We take the utmost care to keep our plants healthy and we use living soil that contains fungal and microbial inoculants and locally made compost.
We are open to the public (almost) every weekend, Saturday and Sunday from 10am - 5pm. Check our opening dates below when planning your visit.

contains: Florida peat moss, Canadian peat moss, pearlite, composted organic material, humus, pine bark, dolomite
Our garden soil is the backbone of our veggie gardening system and while it may seem like a simple product theres actually lots of considerations to be taken when picking what soil to fill your new veggie garden bed with. The peat moss & composted organic material are included to hold moisture and water soluble nutrients, while the pine bark and coir are included for aeration and drainage. The dolomite is a pH balancing mineral that is included to offset the acidity and the humus is critical decomposed and stable organic matter formed by the decomposition of plant & animal matter over time (similar but different to compost).
If you head to Home Depot and buy the cheapest bags of “dirt” you’ll be shooting yourself in the foot, as the soil you fill your garden bed with is a big step towards success in the garden.
Our soil mix is NOT certified organic (we are working on it with our soil company) but it contains no chemicals and is made entirely of organic material. Our soil is made locally in South Florida and bagged on site so it isn’t pasteurized like the bags of soil you'll find at big box stores.
All bagged soils DO NOT contain the vital macro & micro nutrients that your plants need to thrive, so wether you buy from us or elsewhere you must add a granular OMRI certified fertilizer to your soil before planting.
How to figure out how much soil you need… If you're trying to fill a raised bed from scratch you’ll want to use a simple soil calculator like this one: https://www.gardeners.com/how-to/soil-calculator/7558.html
To help you out, there are 25 cubic feet in a cubic yard, and we use 1 cubic yard (thats 25 buckets) to fill a 4 x 8 foot raised bed that is 10 inches deep.
If you are coming to buy a large amount of soil make sure you have enough space to leave with it. 25 buckets of soil will fill a full size SUV or small pickup truck.
