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.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Summer Solstice Plant Market and Father's Day Weekend celebration! The longest day of the year could not have been more beautiful, and it was wonderful to spend it surrounded by plants, sunshine, familiar friends, and new visitors discovering the nursery for the first time.
Our PeopleCats were hard at work all day - greeting guests, inspecting shopping carts, supervising plant selections, and making sure everyone felt welcome. The garden was full of smiles, conversations, tropical color, and the relaxed summer atmosphere that makes this event one of our favorites each year.
If you see yourself, your family, or your friends in these photos, feel free to save them and share the memories. We hope the plants you brought home thrive and bring you years of enjoyment. Thank you for spending part of your Father's Day weekend with us, and thank you for supporting our little tropical paradise. We look forward to seeing you again at the next Plant Market. Happy summer and happy growing! 🌴☀️🌺
