Tallahassee Nurseries

I’ll be the first to admit: I arrived at Tallahassee Nurseries as a novice. My botanical vocabulary was limited, and my ability to discern between a maple and an oak was rudimentary at best. However, this property is designed for more than just the expert; it is built for the curious. The true value here is the gestalt experience—the way the multi-acre landscape invites a prolonged "dwell time" that transforms a casual visitor into a student of the craft. While my current collection of images is hyper-selective based on my entry-level eye, I’ve realized that I’ve only scratched the surface of what this institution offers. From the vibrant, humid sanctuary of the greenhouse to the rhythmic rows of the container fields, I found myself captivated by the sheer structural beauty of the stock. I may have started this journey with a "green" thumb, but the inspiration found here has ensured that I will be back to document the countless specimens I missed. This isn't just a place to buy plants; it’s a place to develop a passion. Image Legend for the Discerning Eye: TN 12 20 2025 (1 of 6): The striking native Coral Honeysuckle (Lonicera sempervirens).

Tallahassee Nurseries is quickly becoming a place dear to my heart, a pocket of whimsy and rejuvenation. Having lived in Tallahassee for three decades, and previously joking that I had a black thumb when it came to plants, I only recently started going regularly. Now I can see it becoming a beautiful mainstay in my life. In the past few weeks, I’ve attended several of their events for the first time. Each one has been beautifully coordinated and well attended, and I can’t wait to go to more. I just went to the Artisans in the Gardens event yesterday, and it was stunning and idyllic, even with the overly warm weather. The quality of the artisans was genuinely inspiring, and they were all local. I’m so proud to see the talent in our community. The grounds are absolutely enchanting, and the variation in plant types means there’s truly something for everyone. I’ve had the privilege of getting to know many of the staff, and they are all wonderful, kind, grounded people. I’m happy to say I seem to have turned my black thumb into something closer to a green thumb, and I can’t wait to come back and flex my newfound skills by bringing home more varieties of plants, or even just to enjoy the grounds, wandering through the gardens with the shop kitties and butterflies.

Loved this nursery! They had a ton of different plants/shrubs/trees and they were all great quality and healthy! Will be back again soon!

I absolutely love Tallahassee Nurseries! Every time I come here, it’s such a peaceful and beautiful experience. The plants are gorgeous and so well cared for, and the whole atmosphere just feels calm and welcoming. I especially love their art shows, it’s amazing to see all the beautiful local art and meet other artists in the community. As an artist myself, I’ve always felt supported and welcomed whenever I’ve showcased my own work here. The staff is always so kind and helpful too. You can really tell everyone works hard to make this place as special as it is! I can’t recommend them enough!!

This nursery is such a gem. They have a surprising amount of variety in stock. Plus, they host events like farmers markets that make the place feel like a real community hub. Always worth the trip. And they're dog friendly!

My first visit there was incredible! The place itself is a work of art and it's beautiful fountains and all the plants! So many beautiful plants in an astounding variety and very well taken care of. I wish I had longer to stay but my kids and I were killing time while waiting for my grandmother's doctor appointment to be over. It was such a good idea and my kids and I had a blast. The prices of the plants were incredibly reasonable. I still managed to get 2 before I had to leave. I am definitely coming back for more! If you're around it, it's definitely a place worth checking out especially during the holidays! It's a fun place for the kids and it's open and easy to navigate.

Tallahassee Nurseries is incredible! I'm blown away by all they have to offer every time I'm there. We started going more because of their hilarious amazing social media posts, but stayed for the vibes and all they have to offer- not only can you shop but it's actually great to just grab a bev from a vendor or the cottage and walk around. Their community events are also always sooo much fun we try to go to as many as we can as they always get better and better when we go. It's like a nursery and park all rolled in to one!

Looking for a nice healthy Christmas 🎄? They've got it! Looking for fresh fall garden plants? They've got em. Looking for friendly employees who are more than willing to help? This is the place. Do yourself a favor and stop by, you'll be glad you did! Did I mention really cool yard art? I could go on and on!!!

Went here to purchase a few plants, and then came back again for the fall festival they had. Very cute nursery with a large selection. Some of the staff are more "plant people" than "people people" but they usually have those staff caring for the plants, and the more customer-service oriented staff at the checkout, and I actually really enjoy my checkout experience because of those staff. Plants are a good price and again, can't beat the selection! I like that the parking is big too.

This is truly plant nursery heaven. Not that I have a great green thumb , but I easily could spend hours here walking through their well organized plants and tree aisles. They had a large selection of fruit trees that were sectioned by types. Satsuma, Cara Cara apple and plum would be my favorite. They were out of rhe orange and Meyer lemon trees we were interested in .That did not stop us from wandering around to look at their Christmas trees and whole house of poinsettias. Wow!!! I have never seen so many in a nursery ever.

We have always had to stop at Tallahassee Nurseries whether buying plants for Pinehaven Plantation a few years ago or loading the truck and trailer back to Fairhope Alabama. They have always had the best selection, price and help. Speaking of help. My wife was going from Jacksonville to Pensacola and had car issues. She was going to stop and get plants but started having car issues. She had to leave vehicle and get rental. BIG shout out to Alan and all the other caring workers!! Alan recommended a service shop to have it towed on Monday. I googled them and they had a 4.8 rating. Every comment was excellent. Oh, guess who else has a 4.8 (should be 5.0) ?? Tallahassee Nursery! Thank you all and will travel any distance to do business with you. Thank you again Alan.

It's immaculately maintained and the variety of plants and trees are truly second to none. It is not cheap by any means but you will find things here that you will not see anywhere else in the state. Everyone is helpful - we were given seed advice by an employee who handles the small shop where the seeds are sold. I am looking at all the other reviews and they are all consistent. I am very happy that someone told me about this place because we would have never known about it.

While visiting family in Tallahassee we decided to stop in and see this place. Wish we had been closer to home so I could've taken some plants home. However, they have so many other things like tools and gardening equipment. We bought some plant seeds, tarp for our vegetable garden for the winter and a micro green DIY kit, aside of some cute garden decorations and a garden ph meter. This place is great and there are so many beautiful plants and trees, plus the staff is super friendly and there are cute cats sleeping around the gardens.

Expect to spend half the day here. The amount of plants in stock is incredible! Everyone is so helpful and friendly. Prices are reasonable with excellent descriptions. Something for anyone including additional shops and beverages within. This is the best nursery I have ever been too hands down!

I visited a couple nurseries in Tally and this was my favorite. Nice greenhouse for tropicals, super helpful staff, and it's a nice sized spot that you can kill some time exploring. Cute gift shop, and I was super impressed at the knowledge of all the staff. If your a plant person in tally and only have one nursery to check out, this is the one I'd visit.

My family and I came as a part of exploring while on their visit of Tallahassee. I'm a local and had passed by but not been able to see inside and felt like I've been missing out! This place is beautiful just to explore or checkout. Between all the scenery and amazing plant options if you've got a green thumb, or are interested in starting to plant I'd check this place out. They also have cats around which was cute to look out for. We bought reusable and kitchen towels, a tarp for plants during the winter, and some knick knacks.

My favorite gardening store. I bought several plants& vegetables in early March. They are pretty healthy and makes me relax! The spare mint which was small pot, became bigger and bigger. Good for cooking and cocktails Also I bought Nasturtium, Sansevieria and Calathea. Nasturtium bloomed cute flower and got seeds now. Sansevieria and Calathea make my room air nice. Only exploring here is also therapeutic for me. Thank you.

There are so many selections of any plant or garden decorations that you are looking for. The staff is very knowledgeable and informative.

Always the best service! Detailed, professional + beautiful flowers! I have ordered floral arrangements from their flower cottage for many years and am always thankful for their outstanding work!

I never knew how badly I wanted a green thumb until coming here. But before I get into that, step one: they sell wine slushees and beer here. Before you begin walking around all the beautiful plant life, get yourself a drinky drank. Now back to the plants, diverse and large collection to start anything from a little greenery on your back porch to constructing an orchard. They have it ALL. Staff couldn't be friendlier, and are experts about the plants. Even if you aren't in the market for a new plant friend, come get a peach Belini slushee and enjoy the views.

This has got to be the best place to spend the day. Yes, it was unbearably hot when we visited but hey, there were wine slushies. We tried both Blackberry and Peach flavors and both were delish. This place has it all and all sectioned off (herbs, memorials, pots, flowers...) and a dinosaur to pose with and a huge windchime that resonates ZEN. We were looking for mosquito plants (to keep them at bay) and of course, they had every one of the 10 that does the job. We've been looking for a real eucalyptus plant (for roaches in the dorm) and we found it. I can't wait to return at Christmas time, when we visit again and when its cooler. Still going to get those slushies!

About 14 months ago, somebody gave me a gift of a potted flower. I neglected the thing 90% of the time, but it continued on, looking pretty and lifting my spirits a little every time I walked in the room. This is what began my "plant lady" lifestyle. Over the past year I have dedicated myself and my space to plants. They have literally changed my life, so you now know I am serious when I say THIS is your go-to nursery in Tallahassee. I patronize this place at least once a week and have never gotten bored of it. First thing is first, there is a giant greenhouse that you will find hard to leave. Succulents and tropicals cluster around on surfaces, splashes of color everywhere (when I went this week the begonias were hypnotizing!) air plants soaking, pothos, hoyas, spider plants and lipstick plants hang above you. Take the small bridge over the adorable koi pond to wander out the other side under a giant wind chime and towards the garden supply store and the cottage gift store where you can find cute pots and other things for your garden and home. The plants in this nursery are obviously well-cared for and tended to. Even the clearance plants aren't too shabby! There are rows and rows of different species of plants and trees and shrubs I never even knew existed. The colors, the foliage, the textures-- there is quite literally something for everyone and every garden or home. (I once saw maybe 9 different species of daisies. I didn't know I liked daises so much until I came here.) They also carry a variety of pots ranging from inexpensive plastic to giant and decorative (great priced terra cotta.) When I asked the super nice employee if he saw the same people every week, he laughed kindly and said yes, they have a LOT of landscapers, avid gardeners, and just people like me who enjoy it. I can see why! This is probably my favorite place in all of tallahassee!

So happy to have found this beautiful gem! Prices were fair but the grounds and selection were absolutely incredible! Everyone was very friendly and they had some of the most beautiful plants I've ever seen!! Will 100% be coming back!

When I was a kid, my mom went to Tallahassee Nurseries regularly and often my siblings and I had to go with. I remember complaining nonstop those afternoons, constantly announcing my disinterest in plant life and choosing to watch the koi fish and look for caterpillars instead. Now, fifteen years later, I still love the koi (and the friendly nursery cats), and I'm finally able to look through the eyes of an adult and see what my mom saw all those afternoons - a veritable wonderland of greenery, flowers, and now, wine slushees! Tallahassee Nurseries is like a magical, whimsical playground for adults with a plant addiction. You're greeted up front by their ever-friendly dinosaur statue (decked out in holiday gear starting late November) when you walk in, and that's just the start of it. You'll discover new little gnome homes built into the bottom of the trees each time you go. If you're here around the holidays, the trees are festively trimmed with colorful lights, poinsettias litter the grounds, and various houseplants are "dressed up" as Red-nosed Reindeer. I mean, seriously! How infuriatingly cute is that??! I came here today and left with a beautiful Kalanchoe (they have a fantastic variety of succulents) and Hoya to add to my houseplant collection, and I'm already itching to go back and get some more Christmas presents for myself. I have a free afternoon tomorrow, we'll see what happens.

So cute! Great place to walk around and explore. There's a huge variety of plants to choose from if you're thinking about extending your plant family, or you can just browse. Also, it's a great place to take some cute outdoorsy pics. I would also suggest going during the Christmas season when they have all their lights up and there's a night where they serve hot chocolate, hot apple cider and cookies.

Gardeners paradise! Not only do they have every flower or plant you could possibly imagine, but they also have great decorative pots, tree ornaments, bird feeders, basically anything garden/yard related. They are dog friendly! And you'll definitely find plenty of instagram-worthy backgrounds. I also suggest attending their events like the Spooky Sips they recently hosted. The event raised money for a charity all while entertaining their guests with live music, a food truck, drinks, and dogs in costumes.

One of my favorite places in Tallahassee. Especially now that you can get a brew from Proof Brewing. Just a beautiful well run place.

I love the Tallahassee Nurseries so much. Even if you don't want a plant, it's a lovely place to walk around. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. I have found some gorgeous plants and equipment here and plan on returning for all of my plant/garden related needs. I would literally just suggest going here if you're bored because it's so beautiful and there really is something for everyone to admire.

My home away from home. Extremely helpful staff and the array of expertise is incredible. The variety of plants ensure you'll find something you want. The atmosphere is wonderful and you could easily spend a day there.

I would move to Tallahassee just to be closer to this Nursery! I make it a point to go here every time I visit my sister since she moved here and am always impressed with their selection. They have so many different things available from semi-rare plants, to flowers, to herbs and succulents and so much more. The place is huge and I always find myself in a new section every time I go back. The pricing is decent as well, definitely competitive with most places I've been to or any of the online shops I go to. Definitely take a trip even if it's just to browse all the great selection they have!

Great nursery with a large selection and all of the plants look healthy. Will definitely return.

Great plant selection even during our January visit! The staff were very knowledgeable and everyone we encountered offered to help. We had hoped to meet with a designer to get a landscaping plan for our new home near the coast but unfortunately no one was available to meet with us.

Came for the Artisan in the Garden event and really enjoyed the beautiful space, art vendors, and live music. Wonderful that there was no cost for parking or admission. That said, parking was very tough, this is a popular event and when the lot is full you have to park in nearby neighborhoods and walk. Staff was friendly and there were a lot of them walking around and being helpful. I did see one checking in on restroom cleanliness and supplies, which was decent for a big event but could have been better. There was some food for sale too.

They have a great selection of plants! This is a good spot to take your family to go shopping or to walk around with the kids. I spent a lot of time in the greenhouse. The staff frequently asked if I needed help and everyone was in a great mood. I would recommend this nurseries for anyone looking for new indoor or outdoor plants of all varieties. I would like to see some more pots besides terra cotta in the future.

They have great plants and the grounds are beautiful. So many nice options and affordable. I brought my dog and everyone was really nice to us. My only concern was that when I checked out and bought soil- I had to ask three times to buy soil and then I asked which one that I had bought. They couldn't even point me in the correct direction. They did offer to load it in my car, but I just needed to know which bag to grab and where.... I asked multiple times for this and even said it was my first time there and I needed to learn my way around.

This place is huge, and it makes for a great place to walk around (and they allow dogs). Definitely a great date spot.. plus it's totally free and it makes for great photos. They have a beautiful selection and the staff are very friendly. I found a live succulent wreath there that I love!

My favorite place to shop for anything plant related in tally! Literally only downfall is the place is HUGE and you may need a whole day to see everything (is that really a downfall though...) I somehow missed the slushees and still LOVE this place. Got a fabulous lemon tree last time I went! Out of room for any more plants so my town is limited there to prevent turning my apartment into a green house

I adore Tallahassee Nurseries, they're by far the best nursery in town. Their plants are always healthy and lush and even when I bring them home they continue to thrive. Everything I've ever gotten from here has been extremely well priced and I always have a hard time leaving without an entire buggy full of plants. Their employees are also very knowledgeable about all their plants and I love that. It's also beautiful there! We enjoy going just to walk about and be outside in the beautiful scenery!

Nice place if you are looking to buy some plants or even to just walk around and enjoy the variety they have. They even have wine, beer, and coffee for purchase! They have a great variety of plants as well as pots/accessories. Would recommend for a chill night or a fun weekend adventure!

beautiful!! so many plants to choose from!! so spread out but so helpful to know what type of plant you're looking for. very well kept up. nice gift shop as well.

There is a reason for all of the positive reviews. Tallahassee Nurseries is *the* place to go. It's quite large and has a terrific selection of indoor and outdoor plants (annuals and perennials), flowering and fruit-bearing trees, and all kinds of different shrubs and bushes. It's a wonderful place just to visit or to take out-of-towners (especially those from the north). There are also a few cats who roam around (they all have collars and tags) and they're sweet and friendly. It also sells many different sizes of pots and planters. I purchased a terracotta pot and decorated it myself to stretch my imagination. There are also two separate buildings: one sells gardening-related gifts; the other sells garden-related supplies (e.g., books, plant bulbs, and plant fertilizers). Additionally there is a building that sells "large supplies" such as grass seed, sod, and various types of fertilizer. The staff is incredibly friendly and no question is dumb (I know, I've asked most of them). If you visit without an idea but you want to get something all you do is to ask. The person who takes care of you will come up with several ideas, especially for window boxes. TN provides baskets of various sizes for shopping. You may think you'll need something small and realize that you need something larger. No problem, there are plenty of carts around. Additionally, TN offers a reasonably-priced landscaping service. We live in an area that has barely much of a front yard and was in dire need of help. I made an initial appointment for the landscaper to come out. She measured everything and used graph paper to ensure she had the proper dimensions. We made an appointment a week or so later and I went to TN to see the plantings she chose. I never realized how much variety there could be in such a small space! The trucks came out in no time and I took before and after pictures. What a change! We live at the head of a subdivision and people who lived there and drove past gave us so many compliments. Over time I've made several telephone calls for help and have received all kinds of tips. Sign up for the mailing list. TN provides all kinds of great ideas. Look for the Japanese Maple! If you have a large yard you might consider it. One disadvantage - the walking paths are made of small rocks. They look nice but it can be hard on wheeled objects - possibly on wheel chairs? I'm sure I left out several things and you can discover them yourselves. Tallahassee Nurseries just plain ROCKS (no pun intended).

I have gone to them my entire life (now 25 years) and I can tell you that they are helpful, welcoming and have a strong stock to choose from. They will provide you with a friendly smile and "how do you do?" While leading you through a beautiful maze of botanical beauty! They even have a garden center and gift shop so you are sure to find every thing you need.

Amazing people, amazing plants, amazing service!! All the people were engaged, happy, and knowledgeable! They all had some important tips on the plants we asked questions about. They each spent about 10 mins sharing info. All very valuable. Once we got our plants delivered (for a $40 fee! Lol) he was so!so! Helpful.... like helped us arrange and make sure they were all placed correctly. On point!

I searched everywhere for my wife's gift for her 29 years of putting up with me. I kept asking what she wanted, and she always said nothing. But she had dropped a couple of hints that she wanted a Rectangle Basket with multiple plants with different colors. She wanted to be able to put it as a center piece on the Dinning table or on the Coffee Table. I searched every where for that perfect Indoor Plants in a Rectangle Basket. I was about ready to go to a Large Store and purchase a Basket then fill it up with indoor plants. But I remembered what my neighbor told me when I described my problem. He said you must go to Tallahassee Nurseries before you give up. He was so right and anything in the future for Plants, Trees, Baskets anything else that needs to look Pretty, they will be my First Stop! I arrived there on February 24,2020 and was sent to the Greenhouse. A Lovely Young Lady was going to Lunch but took a couple of extra minutes to find another Lovely Young Lady to help me with my Dilemma. We went straight to find the Perfect Basket. Picked up 4 Beautiful Colorful Plants and she arranged it so perfect with some Southern Moss and just added the Perfect Touch, all in less than 30 minutes. The 30 minutes part is important because my wife gets home at 2:15 every afternoon and it was our 29th Anniversary and it was 12:30. I had less than 2 hours to Buy Balloons, deliver to Chiles High School, she works there, and get to Bannerman Rd and set the Plants Up on the Dining Table! Tallahassee Nurseries is a life saver and I would suggest check with them First for Plants or anything Inside or Outside-They Have It!

They sure know their stuff. I wouldn't expect anything less from a business that has been around since the Twentieth Century. They have a good vareity of items ranging from seeds to seasonal plants. However, some of the prices are a little high. But, this a small price for some of their speciality varieties like a Peruvian habanero plant. If you go, try to time your visit with a current sale.

This is a place you can come and enjoy on any given day. Need a pick me-up? Go to the nursery! Want to read a book in a peaceful, outdoor setting? Go to the nursery! Need somewhere to stroll for a while? Well, the nursery fits your needs! I would describe it as an oasis of inspirational, colorful goodness. At the entrance they have huge, eye-catching displays. Usually for changing seasons or national holidays. Kudos to whoever gets those up! I always get excited to see them! My favorite is during December when they have large globes of string lights hanging from the trees. It's one of the reasons I decided to check the nursery out in the first place. Walking around, it's almost magical when the butterflies flutter about. It's also hard not to leave without something in your wagon! I go for the succulents and cacti since I live in an apartment. The staff is always willing to help, and I am never afraid to ask a question. They definitely have the answers and can help you figure out what best fits your needs. Just keep an eye out for their bright blue shirts!

As someone who came here without any expectations and not even looking to buy anything, I was completely impressed. The nursery had a Cottage House Christmas event which had attracted me and I spent an hour just wandering around. They had a wonderful selection of plants, all beautifully displayed. I particularly enjoyed the greenhouse and the Japanese garden inside, with a pond filled with goldfish. Whether you have some landscaping to do or just want a place to relax with a book, Tallahassee Nurseries is the place for you!

Really enjoyed strolling thru. Beautiful place to just walk around, get to know the name of plants, enjoy and admire all the decorations and enjoy the weather. You don't have to buy anything... Simply enjoy what they have to offer. Oh, and everyone is smiling there. Pure awesomeness!

Absolute favorite nursery in town. The staff is knowledgeable and incredibly helpful. The nursery itself is just absolutely gorgeous, it's fun just to wander around and soak all of it in! Don't forget to go into the gift shop- lots of fun goodies in there. I wish it wasn't so expensive, so I don't buy all my stuff here but when I'm willing to spend the extra money I definitely head to Tallahassee Nurseries! Pro tip: keep an eye out for Tiger, the sweet nursery cat who loves to be loved on!

Visited in October 2020 to find a couple of plants for my mom's gravesite. The grounds are so pretty (especially at night) and the place HUGE. The worker who helped me was sooo friendly and knowledgeable, she helped me pick two mum plants that were absolutely beautiful. Can't wait to visit again when I'm in the Tallahassee area.

I scream and holler from a mountain top.....This place is so awesome! This is the place to come to get educated assistance resulting in.....plants that live. Sheila is the person who I sniff out every time for the most amazing advice. She has really helped me out several times with low maintenance plants for survival in the sun or shade.

Best nursery I've ever been to, but I'm from Indiana. We took this wagon around and they have the inventory for you! We were helped by no less than five people. Spent 160 bucks on stuff we would have paid triple to have shipped to us if we found some place off the internet. I found a staghorn fern which I've never seen for sale anywhere before. My wife was given half off on an orchid because the blooming phase was over.

Heaven on Earth! This is a go-to Tallahassee spot, not just to buy gardening supplies, but to also just walk around and see flowers and bask in the pretty landscaping! The nurseries host a lot of cute classes and events for kids and adults, they have classes on perennials and succulents and butterfly gardens and more. All of their employees are very knowledgable and can answer any garden-based questions. I have learned so much from speaking to a few of the senior employees, and I'm so grateful for all of the care that is put into this business. There are also a few wild cats that roam around the gardens (they can often be found sleeping in the cat nip plants :') whom are always a delight to run into and take selfies with!

This place is extraordinary! You can walk forever and not see all the amazing plants, sculptures, pots, gifts, etc. It's like a treasure hunt! Plus they have the greatest staff and three cute nursery kitty cats.

Walked around here while visiting town just to pass time. It's beautiful, and the greenhouse is even more beautiful than the outdoor areas. I would have blown all my money here if I could transport plants across the country, because even in the SF Bay Area we don't have a nursery this extensive, affordable, and gorgeous. Obv points for cats too.

Great hidden gem. Pretty much, anything you need or could grow in Tallahassee's climate. Also just a really cool place to walk around. Even if you don't want flowers, just park and walk around the neat colorful property. Who knows you may end up going home with a carnivores plant...

This place holds a very special place in my heart. You will never find yourself bored or dissatisfied with this Tallahassee gardening staple. The grounds are beautiful and ever changing and the staff is always friendly and knowledgeable.
