In celebration of Florida Native Plant Month, our In celebration of Florida Native Plant Month, our October plant of the month is firebush (Hamelia patens var. patens)!🔥 

This perennial or semi-woody shrub is known for its bright red-orange tubular flowers that attract hummingbirds and butterflies all season long. Firebush thrives in full sun to partial shade and can grow up to 8 feet tall, adding a burst of color and wildlife activity to your landscape. Stop by soon to see this fiery favorite!

We’re open Monday through Thursday, 9 AM to 1 PM, and Saturday and Sunday, 9 AM to 3 PM!🌿

It's #ThrowbackThursday! 🌱✨ Today we're looki It's #ThrowbackThursday! 🌱✨ Today we're looking at the amazing growth at GROW HUB over the past several years.

Then: Weathered structures in need of care, empty tables waiting to be filled with possibility, a space ready for renewal
Now: A vibrant, productive nursery where greenhouses overflow with thousands of thriving plants and a dedicated team brings it all to life

Since our early days in 2018 as an entirely volunteer-run operation with no paid staff, GROW HUB has blossomed from a vision into a flourishing nonprofit plant nursery that does so much more than grow plants - it grows opportunities, confidence, and community for adults with disabilities.

From those early days of setting up infrastructure to today's production-ready operation, every seedling tells a story of perseverance, teamwork, and growth (in every sense of the word!).

We're so proud of how far we've come and grateful for everyone who has supported this journey. Here's to continued growth, for our plants, our team, and our mission! 💚
