a little about us

Growing up in Apopka, Florida – the foliage capital of the world – Jerry watched his father work at a plant nursery, and worked in a nursery himself. When he ventured out on his own, Jerry decided to do what he knew best – grow plants. In 1976, Jerry opened the doors of Jerry’s Gardenias – where it has been a fixture in the Central Florida area for over 40 years.

Today, Jerry’s Gardenias continues its family legacy as Robin runs the day to day growing operation, and Jerry continues to handle sales and office operations.

 With over 15 acres of shade houses, we are proud to be one of the largest gardenia growers in America.

We ship nationwide with a customer base consisting of garden centers, grocery stores, mail orders, brokers, nurseries, and mass markets.
