Our Appointment-Only Nursery: Food Forest Plants for Zone 9b
At Love is the Source Farm, we believe that the best plants are the ones that not only thrive in your climate but also nourish your body, heal your spirit, and give back to the land. That’s why our nursery is appointment-only — a space where we can take time with you, walk the land together, and help you choose plants that will truly support your vision.
Grown Here, for Here
Everything in our nursery is grown right here in Zone 9b Florida, tested in our own soil, and proven to withstand our heat, rain, and humidity. We don’t just sell plants — we share the living systems that sustain our family and our farm.
Our specialties include:
Bananas – not just any bananas, but the sweetest, most resilient varieties that thrive in Central Florida food forests.
Mulching grasses – the backbone of healthy soil, perfect for chop-and-drop to feed your trees and gardens.
Chop-and-drop service plants – designed to regenerate the land, keep weeds down, and return fertility to the soil.
Heat-resistant lettuces and herbs – because fresh greens shouldn’t disappear in summer. We’ve selected varieties that keep producing even through Florida’s hottest months.
Medicinal plants – from traditional herbs to powerful perennials, we grow plants that support both wellness and resilience.
Why Appointment-Only?
We’re not a big-box nursery where you wander aisles of imported plants. Instead, we offer a personal, hands-on experience. By scheduling an appointment, you get our full attention:
A guided walk through what’s growing on the farm.
Support in choosing the right plants for your land and goals.
Tips for planting, mulching, and companion growing in Zone 9b.
This way, you don’t just leave with plants — you leave with confidence and knowledge.
A Living Food Forest in the Making
Every plant we share is a piece of our food forest, and we love seeing them establish new roots across Central Florida. Whether you’re starting with a single banana circle or designing a full-scale food forest, we can help you layer in fruit, medicine, mulch, and beauty.
Let’s Grow Together
If you’re ready to create abundance on your land with plants grown and proven in Zone 9b, we’d love to welcome you by appointment. Come see what’s thriving in our nursery, take home plants that will nourish you for years to come, and let’s grow the future of food forests together.
Because when we plant wisely, we plant for generations. 🌱
