Natives of Corkscrew Nursery is a Southwest Florida native plant growing nursery. NOC specializes in aquatic, wetland, lake, upland and transitional plants that are common to the natural areas of SW Florida. We are local natives (people) that spent our childhood and adolescent years exploring the woods that surround Corkscrew Road. Now as adults we returned home to preserve the woods we love. We are providing native plants to restore and enhance the land that has been impacted by the infestation of exotics and nuisance vegetation. We care about water, soil, and the environment and want to continue to see communities, homeowners, common areas, and roadways; transition to more native natural landscapes. Native landscapes offer less maintenance (mowing), less fertilizers, less water, which translates to more money. Very few times in our society does less equal more, but in native landscapes they can equal beauty, butterflies, and more nature. We are growing plants from seeds, cuttings, grafting, and division. We offer bareroot aquatic plant (swamp lily, arrowhead, spikerush, pickerelweed and more), 1-3-7gl canopy trees (cypress, slash pine, live oak, red maple, dahoon holly and more), mid canopy shrubs (necklace pod, firebush, wild coffee, simpson stopper, beautyberry and more), grasses (fakahatchee, lovegrass, cordgrass, muhly grass and more), and beautiful wildflowers (tropical sage, black eyed susan, blanketflower, railroad vine, passion vine and more).
We also offer red and black mangroves in various sizes. We do have a few large 25gl slash pines available.
Support small local businesses. Tours are welcome and encouraged but need to occur by appointment only.
