Jesse Durko’s Nursery

We worked with Mike and he was incredibly helpful and knowledgable. We appreciated that both times we came to the nursery he rode up to the parking lot and then drove us around, taking time to show us around and help us to make decisions. The prices of the plants and trees cannot be beat! He gave us a great price! We will definitely go back and refer our neighbors!

I bought a groupon for this nursery and, after spending 2 hours choosing $ 300 worth of plants (three times the groupon’s amount), I was ignored repeatedly because I said I was using a groupon and was then told my groupon had already been redeemed, even though it was the first time I had ever been to the nursery. They had no technology, no computer, no resources — NOTHING — to get to the bottom of the problem and weren’t really interested in resolving it to keep me as a customer.
I will never return to this nursery again.

Jesse’s creative genius has transformed each of my Zen Home properties from plain to spectacular! I have been able to sell each of my homes at a premium as a result of the dramatic landscapes, Zen Gardens, and pools he has created. Turn an eye sores into a secluded paradise. I am always blown away by the work Jesse and his team do for me.

Jesse was extremely helpful. I simply told him what I was looking for and he showed me around the whole nursery on his ‘golf cart’ and just picked up whatever plants I wanted onto his cart. From fruit trees to butterfly flowers, they have everything! The credit card machine was not working that day, and I didn’t have enough cash. He simply wrote me an invoice and ask him to mail him the check! I was very touched!

beautiful place, lovely to walk through. though we got a ride on the golf cart with Jesse to pick out all our plants !!!

I don’t know plants… but Jessie does!
I had a yard that desperately needed help and help he did. The plants were selected according to the colors we liked and how they would perform in our yard.
Not being a plant person, I made some boo boos but Jessie fixed them. He has replaced some plants for me, added some others that he thought would work well and has always helped with my questions.
A safe place to go if you don’t know plants… and even if you do!

We purchased several plants a month ago and they are doing fabulous.
The staff was very helpful We will be back.
Great nursery.

Absolutely the best place to go if you’re looking for the perfect tropical landscaping plants. When we moved here, 3 years ago, our yard was dismal. We were referred to Jesse by a new neighbor. We had a very limited budget, but he was willing to do his best with what we had. His best was totally amazing. We wanted a butterfly garden, and that’s what we got. Within just weeks after installing the little plants, the lady across the street said she couldn’t believe the change — «It looks like a lovely painting,» was her comment. That’s because Jesse is not just a landscaper, the man is an artist. He travels all over the world looking for new varieties. When you go, and you should go, call ahead and make an appt. with him, so he has time to personally help you.
I did read the other review and find myself completely baffled. He has bent over backwards to be fair with us on pricing and replacing plants that didn’t perform. Maybe the person that was working for him then, is no longer there. I just can’t say enough about the work that he has done for us.

The nursery is ok however the practices of one of the workers (Janine Griffiths) are very deceiving, misleading, scammish and right out dishonest. She asked for a portion of the deposit to later come up with every excuse not to return it, claiming she paid for the plants with the deposit when i just confirmed with the owner she bought them before i gave her a deposit, all of this and i havent even received a plant! BUYER BEWARE! To clarify: Janine works at the nursery but is a freelance agent. If the owner uses Janine to install your job then stay away, there are plenty of great nurseries in SOFL and honest, skilled and licensed landscapers out there.
