At Royal Landscape Nursery, giving back to our community is a core part of who we are. As proud sponsors of Taste Central Florida, we are honored to contribute to one of the region’s most impactful events in the fight against childhood hunger.
Now in its 33rd year, Taste Central Florida has raised over $4 million for the Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida and the Coalition for the Homeless of Central Florida. Featuring the area’s most accomplished chefs, brewers, wine purveyors, and spirit vendors, this event celebrates the community’s culinary excellence while generating profound awareness for children facing hunger daily.
Each year, we proudly donate "Giving Trees" to support this extraordinary event. These trees are displayed at the entrance to the ballrooms, adorned with raffle vouchers showcasing the incredible items and experiences available for auction to raise money for the cause.
This year, Royal Landscape Nursery donated three 30-gallon red maple trees, helping to create a stunning centerpiece for the event and adding to the overall mission of giving back. These “Giving Trees” have become a meaningful tradition, symbolizing growth, hope, and community resilience.

The larger, more comfortable space allows us to provide a seamless experience for all our visitors. We understand that shopping for landscaping needs should be as pleasant and stress-free as possible, and our new office environment reflects just that.

As the summer heat gives way to cooler temperatures, fall emerges as the ideal time to refresh your Florida garden. While many associate planting with spring, fall offers unique advantages that make it the perfect season for adding new plants to your garden.
Planting in the fall provides several key benefits, particularly in Florida’s unique climate:
Optimal Growing Conditions: The cooler temperatures and increased rainfall create a less stressful environment for new plants, allowing them to establish strong root systems before the intense heat of summer returns.
Extended Growing Season: In Florida, the fall season extends the growing period, giving plants ample time to root deeply and prepare for the next year’s growth cycle.
Reduced Pest Pressure: Many pests are less active in the fall, reducing the risk of damage to young plants and allowing them to grow without the intense pressure faced during summer.
At Royal Landscape Nursery, we specialize in perennials—plants that will survive and thrive year-round in Florida’s climate. Here are some top fall-friendly perennials that we have available:
Crotons: Known for their vibrant, multicolored foliage, Crotons add a stunning splash of color to any garden.
Plumbago: This beautiful plant features clusters of blue flowers that bloom...

At Royal Landscape Nursery, we're passionate about promoting sustainable gardening practices that respect and enhance our local ecosystem.
Florida's unique climate and ecosystem create the perfect setting for a diverse range of native plants. These plants are adapted to Florida's weather, meaning they require less watering and are more resistant to local pests and diseases. By choosing native plants, you're not only making gardening easier but also providing a habitat for local wildlife such as bees, butterflies, and birds.
We specialize in offering a rich selection of Florida native plants that are not only beautiful but also vital for maintaining the ecological balance of our local environments.
Our wide selection of Florida native plants is an excellent starting point for anyone looking to make a positive impact in our environment. Visit us today to see how you can transform your space with the beauty and resilience of Florida native plants, and help us protect the natural beauty of our state.
Milkweed plants have become a favorite for many who visit Royal Landscape Nursery, and their appeal is about much more than their visual charm. The milkweed is a crucial part of the Monarch butterfly's life cycle.
Milkweed plants serve as the sole host for Monarch butterflies to lay their eggs. When the eggs hatch, the resulting caterpillars feast on the Milkweed, ingesting its toxins as a defense mechanism against predators. This symbiotic relationship is a beautiful dance of survival and one of nature's delicate balances.
In recent years, the Monarch butterfly population has seen a dramatic decline due to habitat loss, climate change, and pesticide use. By planting Milkweed, gardeners provide a haven for these creatures to reproduce and continue their life cycle.
We pride ourselves on offering a variety of Milkweed species, knowing that each plant sold can become a future home for Monarch caterpillars. Our nursery's selection of pollinator-friendly plants extends beyond Milkweed, as we strive to offer an oasis for all types of pollinators.
We invite you to visit Royal Landscape Nursery to select the perfect Milkweed for your garden.
Stop by our nursery today or give us a call at (407) 296-3042 to learn more about our selection of Milkweed and the other plants and trees we have.
