Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation Native Plant Nursery

The Native Plant Nursery is a retail nursery, open to the public. We sell 100% native Florida plants appropriate for the southwest Florida region. We operate as a department of the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation (SCCF), a private, non-profit organization. As such, all sales from the nursery support the mission and goals of SCCF in the "preservation of natural resources and wildlife habitat on and around Sanibel and Captiva." We offer a full range of nursery and landscaping services, including one-on-one home consultations, landscape design services, and plant installation. Feel free to contact us for special requests or when searching for hard-to-find Florida native species.
