Hey Kathy_ann! How long are you going to be there? We go every July to meet old friends and will be arriving on the 11th.

Last summer I did some nursery hopping in Destin, but was rather disappointed. Everything was way too pricey for what was offered. Believe it or not, the best selection and prices I found was at the Home Depot!

One of the places I visited was Potager's Gardens & Verandas (9755 US Highway 98 W, Destin, (850) 269-3211.) They have some beautiful garden accessories and nice plants, but again, it's all rather expensive. Try a Google search for "Destin, Florida plant nurseries" and you should get a listing of others in the surrounding area.

Thanks for the help, we're only going to be there 3 days I think, leaving to go back home on that sunday. I think that's the llth not sure without grabbing the calendar.

so how expensive are they around there, for plants, can you give some kind of example, what were you looking at that seemed pricey to you, just so i'll be prepared LOL

I live over the Midbay bridge from Destin, just a few miles. I do not do any nursery shopping there. Caters too much to the tourist, which means high prices. About 15-20 miles north is Crestview with two excellent nurseries. About 45 miles to the west is Pensacola. Many, many nurseries. A couple are huge. Those are the places I go.

if you go through p'cola stop by double o'live nursery...

lots of goodies there... trust me... and ewww and ahhhhh!

rylaff I know where crestview is, been there, what's the name of those two nurseries you go to, I use to live in fort walton beach, worked at food world LOL many years ago, it will be nice going back there to see if it has all changed, which I'm sure it has. Thanks for the tips on thenurseries, I would love to go up to crestview and see those two . so let me know the names if you know them ok, Ely, I'm thinking we'll be driving at night, and won't be able to go by the one in pensecola, but i'm writing it down and going to find out where it's located at just in case. I don't want to pass up a goodnursery LOL So crestview is the place to go for nurseries ha? that's so good to know, thanks guys

There is the Crestview Nursery. Pretty good. They have brugs and such too. Lots of different honeysuckles. Go up 85 to Crestview. When you come to the intersection of 85 and 90 , stay on 85. You will come to an interestion with a light. On the left is a school, I think. Take a right and the road winds through some houses. Drive slow. You will see a small sign on your right the says, Crestview Nursery. Take a left there. Follow the road and it will take you to the nursery. The other one is called Green Leaf Nursery. Get on 85 and just keep going. Seems like it is 10 miles or so out of Crestview. I hope I am right on that one. Found it by accident going to the Florida roundup. Stopped in on the way back and got me a chinese wax banana for 10 buck!!! Then there is the Garden Gate. That is in Gulf Breeze on Hwy 98. Really neat place, but not too big. They sell stuff that attracts butterflies. I bought a bunch of ginger there for 6 bucks each. They also have passionflowers. I got caerulea, fledermouse, and biflora there.
