Hummingbird Gardens

This is for people who want to see where their plants come from, not just buy them wrapped in plastic. The gardens themselves—with animals roaming and mature plantings—give you ideas for your own yard, and the staff will sell you the exact specimens to execute them. If you're planning an event, they've built their reputation on not nickel-and-diming you; flexibility and affordability are their stated priorities, which is rare for venues.

Saturday morning, when the nursery is fully staffed and you can browse plants, talk to growers about what thrives in Tampa's heat, and see the gardens without the weekday rush.

Call ahead and ask what's in fruit right now—they grow herbs, fruit trees, and produce on-site, and seasonal availability changes. You might walk out with a lemon tree or basil you can't find elsewhere.
