Celebrate National Lawn and Garden Month with Florida’s Must-See Gardens, Nurseries and Plant Shows

The Florida Nursery, Growers and Landscape Association (FNGLA) Highlights the People, Places and Plants That Make Florida Thrive

Orlando, FL — This April, communities across the Sunshine State are invited to celebrate National Lawn and Garden Month by exploring Florida’s vibrant network of botanical gardens, nurseries and plant-focused festivals. From world-renowned tropical collections to local garden centers and seasonal shows, Florida offers countless opportunities to connect with nature and experience the impact of its horticulture industry.

During National Lawn and Garden Month, the Florida Nursery, Growers and Landscape Association (FNGLA) encourages local communities to see what the industry has to offer. Events will be held throughout the state, including the Green Thumb Festival in St. Petersburg,  Spring Fever in the Garden in Winter Garden and many, many more!

“National Lawn and Garden Month is a time to recognize the role plants play in our daily lives, from beautifying our communities to supporting local economies,” said Tal Coley, chief executive officer of FNGLA. “Florida is uniquely positioned as a year-round horticulture destination, but April is the perfect time to experience it.”

While Florida’s signature festivals and large-scale events draw crowds from across the state, the experience doesn’t stop there. Floridians can continue the journey by exploring local nurseries and botanical gardens that bring the same inspiration to a more personal, community level. With hands-on plant shopping and year-round garden displays, these destinations offer a deeper connection to Florida’s landscapes and the experts who help them thrive.

Florida leads the nation in floriculture sales and is home to more than 18,000 green industry establishments, including over 11,000 landscape service businesses. As the nation’s largest state nursery and landscape association, FNGLA supports thousands of businesses dedicated to growing, designing and maintaining the landscapes that enhance quality of life across the state.

“Florida’s horticulture industry plays a vital role in both our economy and our quality of life,” Coley added. “It’s an industry that supports jobs and growth, but also helps define the look and feel of the Sunshine State.”
