BEYOND THE NURSERY
We don't just sell plants, we help you place and plant them too.
From a single tree in a pot, to a whole edible landscape.
Food Forestry & Design
A food forest works with nature rather than against it. Instead of a lawn that takes and gives nothing back, you plant in layers, with trees, shrubs and groundcovers chosen so they support one another. That structure builds biodiversity, feeds the soil and invites in the beneficial insects and natural predators that keep pests in check, which means little or no need for synthetic fertilizers and chemical sprays.
Traditional agriculture tends to chase short term yields at the expense of long term ecological health, and both the land and the next generation pay for it. Food forestry offers a different path, one that is not just sustainable but regenerative. It heals the ground while it feeds you.
What is a food forest?
THE IDEA
"Each plant contributes something unique, whether it is providing shade, enriching the soil, or attracting pollinators."
No two food forests should look alike, because no two owners want the same thing. Some want to be out there every weekend. Others want abundance with very little upkeep. We design around the time and effort you actually want to give it, and the quieter designs still produce beautifully.
Designed around you, not a template

Tell us about your space and what you would love to grow, and we will tell y ou honestly what will work.
The most common reason people put off growing their own food is that they think they lack the space, the skill or the time. You need far less of all three than you would expect. Layered planting makes the most of vertical space and sunlight, so a small area can be surprisingly productive, and the same principles work just as well in containers on a porch.
Dwarf mango and avocado trees stay under six feet and fruit well in pots. Figs and finger limes are self pollinating, which makes them ideal for a screened in porch. Citrus often does better in a container than in the ground here, because you control the soil. A lemon or lime tree may run 10 to 12 years in a pot, against four or five years planted out.
You do not need acres
SMALL SPACES
"You don't need to have a big backyard to make a difference. Even if it's just a couple of pots on your porch, you're still contributing to a more sustainable lifestyle."
Naples sits in what Justin calls the Goldilocks Zone. Not too hot, not too cold. The climate here lets you grow tropical and subtropical fruit that most of the country can only buy at a store, and it lets you grow it nearly year round. Very few places in the United States can say the same.
Naples is built for this
