Tropical Key West. Thick with foliage and flowers and sunshine. Where 50’ foot Royal Poinciana trees can grow from a single seed. Yet Key West is the driest town in ​Florida. We sit on a concrete hard, coral base barely 6 inches under soil that hardly qualifies as plantable. Trees and plants and grasses must be carefully transported from “the Mainland”, placed into well prepared, often constricted spaces, braced to weather heady winds and nurtured for 12 - 24 months until they can stand on their own. Who does all this? Mama’s Garden.
Mama's Garden Center is the largest nursery and garden center in the Florida Keys.
Mama's Garden Center is located on US Hwy 1, approximately 5 miles outside of Key West on Rockland Key. In addition to a wide variety of trees, native plants and sod, Mama's Garden carries all material necessary for landscaping and walkways; pavers, decorative rock and sand. Mama's also provides landscaping and paver design so your project is fully coordinated and functional, start to finish, from a barren plot to a clean and beautiful garden or yard.
Mama's is a locally owned small business, employs approximately 25 people and has been in business since 2003. They have worked with every major contractor in Key West and the Lower Keys so they know how to coordinate and integrate their service.
If you have a project or even just an idea about what you want, the best way to start is to call Mama's, 305 296-1617, and speak to Laura or Sloan. They will meet you at the site and discuss with you what you want. Both are excellent listeners and after understanding your vision they will put together a list of options to make that vision come true.
Mama's has the best prices in town but feel free to shop around.
Mama's plant database is as large as your imagination. Multiple forms of bromeliads and shrubs; alocasia, allamanda, cordyline, hibiscus and more, are available to add color, kharma and clarity to your garden.
When combined with rock formations and privacy alcoves, your yard becomes the oasis you too often dreamed about from your coat and tie (or pantyhose) cubicle.
If you want a walkway, pool deck or retaining wall Mama's can do. Mama's offers a wide variety of manufactured and clay Pavers in many colors, shapes and sizes, including Bluestone, Terrazo, Coralina, Flagston, Bluestone & Travertine Pavers. They are also a Brick Paver Installation Specialist.
Throughout the Keys, home owners both new and existing, re-invent their properties to suit either changing tastes or because renewal is smarter and more cost-effective than selling, buying and relocating. In such an instance, Mama's can transform a blah exterior and yard into a work of horticultural art. Before and after pictures of such a renewal of a canal front home in Sugaroaf Key show how much Mama's can improve the aesthetic and actual value of a home.
Can you see yourself relaxing around this pool and gardens?
Best of all, service after the sale is outstanding. Your best friend couldn't be more helpful.
