Amelia’s Smarty Plants

Excellent selection of plants, pots, fountains and unique gifts. Great friendly, patient and knowledgeable staff. Can’t wait to go back.

This is the most amazing nursery we have ever been to, and one of the most peaceful and zen-​like environments with spa music piped in as you walk around to select your plants. The employees are passionate about their jobs, are kind, and extremely helpful. Amelia is a sweetheart. It is our favorite place to go for good prices and excellent selection of palms, trees, and gardening supplies.

It’s beautiful and they have a ton of plants but they need to get it together with their staff and consistency in pricing. We wanted to buy several bags of eucalyptus mulch from them but were literally told four different prices and it went up down down and up again. I wonder if they just didn’t want our business. We purchased one of their custom hanging plants in the past and it died. When I mentioned that to them they were not helpful. Guess we are forced into buying from lowes.

Beautiful nursery, some great prices, original plants and garden décor.
The garden décor is incredibly expensive but that’s because they are original and quality pieces. However, it’s nothing I can afford.
Plants are hit or miss with prices. Some stuff is priced very competitively while other things are a little overpriced. However they have exotic plants and things you might not find at your local Home Depot.
I’ve bought some plants for myself here, such as a beautiful Devil’s Trumpet and also bought some gifts here.
It’s definitely worth a peek if you are in the area.

Love the selection of beautiful plants, planters and garden décor! Located on the SW side of Federal Highway in Lake Worth, its a little difficult to miss if you aren’t paying careful attention.
Amelia’s offers a wonderful selection of just about any detail you would need to create the beautiful garden. From mango trees, to mint plants, colorful planters and unique statues and fountains.
Prices are definitely reasonable, the setup is great and the options are plenty!

First, great selection of plants and garden finds (books, pots, fountains wind chimes, etc.). This place is huge and has a large sun tolerant section up front (towards Dixie Hwy) of trees, shrubs and the like. On the other side of the building they have a large area of shade plants. In the large warehouse like building they have tons of great items for gifts including potted plants and other fun items. The plants are in great condition, no dying plants like you might find at Home Depot or Lowes.
Second, the people who work there are super nice and knowledgeable.
Third, location is great, it is so nice to have a garden center right on Dixie rather than having to drive out west.
The only reason I’m not giving Smarty Plants 5 stars is due to prices. But, let me say while the prices are a little higher than the big box stores, the prices are probably better because the drive is easy (save on gas) and the plants are in much better condition and will live.

Amelia’s Smarty Plants is the first garden center I’ve visited in Florida that reminds me of the gardener’s nirvana that is my California home. Let’s start with open on the weekend (so many Floridian garden centers are closed on the weekend — mind boggling), friendly and knowledgeable staff, and perfectly manicured store and garden. Add onto that an expansive selection of plants big and small, including both beautiful exotics and a VERY impressive selection of Florida native plants and you have a winner. The frosting on this cake is the design eye of the owner. Their most recent display includes massive coral stone boulders, which are absolutely fabulous. Careful as you drive by – their landscaping is so superbly done, you could almost miss the place: the center is surrounded by large natural hedges and stone work, making for a serene, truly garden-​like experience. This place is my new favorite — kudos, Amelia & friends!
