Welcome to our Summer Solstice Plant Market!
Father's Day Weekend at Top Tropicals
Summer has arrived in full force - lush gardens, tropical blooms, fruit swelling on the trees, and long warm days that make everything grow fast. Our Summer Plant Market is one of the most colorful weekends of the year, filled with rare fruit trees, flowering trees, fragrant plants, unusual vines, tropical foliage, and hard-to-find collector plants ready for summer planting.
This event also lands on Father's Day weekend - which makes it the perfect excuse to spend the day outdoors instead of inside another crowded store. Bring Dad, bring the family, stroll the gardens, grab a cold drink, and let the PeopleCats guide you through the jungle. King will probably be supervising the rare fruit section, Snitch will be searching for snacks and comfortable chairs, and the rest of the feline crew will be making surprise appearances all day long.
Whether someone loves mango trees, giant elephant ears, fragrant flowers, unusual palms, or just relaxing in a tropical garden surrounded by butterflies and blooms - there will be something here to discover.
The nursery will be packed with summer specials, raffle prizes, free plants with purchase, gift bags for early visitors, and plenty of surprises throughout the day. Expect tropical music, colorful displays, giant plants, friendly plant people, and the kind of Florida summer atmosphere you just can't recreate online.
Some people spend Father's Day buying another necktie. We prefer fruit trees.
Join us for a fun summer Saturday filled with sunshine, plants, cats, music, and new garden inspiration. Come celebrate the season with us and bring home something unforgettable.

Check out our Event Video (video from 3-21-26 coming up):
Smokey: Under control. Try not to drop half of them.
Both: Friends, come over today.
Sunshine: Smokey, look at me! See what I can do on my bike? I'm practicing to give people what they like: coffee and donuts.
Smokey: You'd be perfect for a Gulf beach cafe. But gardeners don't come here for donuts.
Sunshine: Really? Then why do they come?
Smokey: Some gardeners lost plants to the freeze. Others want trees that will handle winter better. Cold-hardy avocados. Macadamia. Grumichama. And some just come for fun - to see the PeopleCats.
Sunshine: And my charm... and my donuts will make it more fun.

Thank you to everyone who came out for our Holiday Plant Market! It was a joy watching the garden fill up with familiar friends and first-time visitors all exploring, chatting, and discovering new favorites.
Our PeopleCats took their jobs very seriously, trotting ahead of guests, inspecting carts, and making sure no one left without the perfect plant. The whole place buzzed with good moods, warm weather, and that fun holiday energy only a tropical garden can create.
If you see yourself or your friends on the photos, save or forward to share the memories!
If you spot yourself or someone you know in the photos, go ahead and save them or pass them along. We hope your new plants settle in beautifully, and we look forward to seeing you back in the garden soon. Happy holidays and happy growing!
