Your local garden center is the dreamiest place to be after a storm, especially if your local garden center is Rockledge Gardens 🌿

Have you ever noticed how gardens look a bit more vibrant and green after a storm? That's because rain washes away pollen, pollution, and dust that settle on leaves, and a good thunderstorm can provide a small, but measurable amount of natural fertilizer. Your garden gets an even, natural watering, and the nutrients it needs to grow. Gardens feel extra magical after a storm, because we get to see the earth living and working in harmony. 🌀

Come and see for yourself with us at Rockledge Gardens! Plus, stop by during one of our weekly bread pop ups for a treat, or grab a cozy drink at Garden Party to enjoy as you wander around the gardens after the rain 🌧️

Weekly team pick! 💙

Meet Allison, our Nursery Manager! She is a converse collector, always caffeinated, and a crafty soul 🖌

Her drink pick is the Moon Berries Schilling C***r, brewed in Washington State! This is a semi-sweet, fruity c***r with juicy blackberry and tart blueberry. Perfect to sit back and relax with after a long weekend of managing the Gardens! 🌞

Stop by The Market (red building) to see all of our local b**rs, c***rs, and seltzers, available to sip + stroll the Gardens with every day 9am to 5pm!

New Blog Post is here! This week we are talking about Seedling Success + Starting your Florida Fall Garden from Seed🌱

In much of the country, fall gardening brings to mind cool mornings, sweaters, and pumpkins. In Florida, starting a fall vegetable garden looks a little different: 90-degree afternoons, thunderstorms, blazing sun, and a tray of tiny broccoli seedlings wondering what they did to deserve this.

Late summer and early fall are important times for getting many of our cool-season vegetables started. Unfortunately, they can also be challenging times to raise seedlings.

The good news? Most seed-starting failures come down to a handful of common problems. Whether you’re starting seeds inside, on the screen porch, or somewhere else protected from the elements, here’s how to get your fall vegetables from seed → seedling → garden

Meet one of our team's favorites: Black Diamond Crape Myrtles. 💜🌸🤍

With stunning blooms in purple, pink, and white, these beauties put on a show for 60–80 days, bringing vibrant color to your landscape all season long. They're also drought tolerant once established, love the Florida sunshine, and return year after year with an incredible display.

One of the reasons we love them so much? They're as tough as they are beautiful. Their deep, near-black foliage creates a striking contrast against the bright blooms, making them a standout in any garden.

The best part? We get them in regularly, so if you miss them one week, there's a good chance they'll be back soon!

Stop by Rockledge Gardens and see why our team can't get enough of these gorgeous crape myrtles. 🌿✨
