| I am heading to Jacksonville soon after Christmas to visit my family, and i am looking for some suggestions of nurseries in town that you guys recommend.
I am mainly looking for succulent-type plants. I am from SWFL and there is not a ton of selection down here, so I am always on the lookout when I visit another city. Thanks for any advice! |

| An excellent nursery that carries lots of interesting, uncommon plants is Plant Ranch located at 14108 Beach Blvd. When I was there last week (buying camellias) they had lots of succulents. If there is something specific you want, you could call them beforehand (904) 223-4546. They are my favorite nursery in Jacksonville. See link below for their website. http://www.plantranchnursery.com/products.htm Rockaway Garden Center located at 510 Shetter Avenue in Jacksonville Beach, (904) 853-6572 ‎is only a few miles from Plant Ranch. Here is their website: http://www.rockawaygardencenterfl.com/ There are also quite a few Ace Hardware stores here that carry great plants. They all have good stuff and are all on my go-to list, but the best one, in my opinion, is Hagan Ace Hardware located at 12501 San Jose Blvd, (904) 268-9597. The Hall's Ace Hardware located at 11524 San Jose Boulevard, (904) 262-1965 is only a few miles away and also very good. There is also Pat's Nursery, located on US 17 Between Orange Park and Greencove Springs. It is a large nursery but since it is pretty far from me, I don't get there very often. Have fun! Carol |

| Thanks for the suggestions! I'm going to try and swing by Rockawau over the next couple days. I'll update with pics if it results in any new acquisitions :) |

I use Proctor Ace on University. He usually has a good selection and friendly advice. Paula |

| Yes, Paula, I agree! I like all of the Ace Nurseries in Jacksonville and frequent them regularly. I even keep a list of them in my car! Ace End of JTB at beach next to Target (Marsh Landing) Carol |
