    • First time customer due to the CFL frost but I’m ecstatic that I found Andrew and his farm. I’ve been to many farms and the nothing compares the personal touch he provides. If you are looking for a plant / tree that he has I’m telling you look no further. I drove an hour and fifteen minutes with a toddler to check him out (to put that in relation) and I would happily do it again for any of my landscaping needs!5/5 Ryan
    • We found Flowing Well Tree Farm on social media, and it was a delightful surprise to enter their farm and be surrounded with so many beautiful trees and plants. Their staff was everywhere, taking care of each plant on the huge property. We were greeted by Andrew, who took time to drive my grandson and me all around the farm, to help us choose one little tree for our yard. Nevertheless, he treated us as VIPs, and we learned quite a lot about the plants along the way. We were so impressed with how many rare Florida native plants they are propagating and caring for. Madison is a treasure. She showed us their astounding website full of information and easy ordering, and connected with us in such a friendly way. Their prices are very reasonable, and we are planning to go back often whenever we want more plants!5/5 Friends Deleon
    • As a lifelong Floridian, native gardening is very important to me. When my regular native nursery did not have the Flatwoods Plum tree I was looking for, I came across Flowing Well. I drove over an hour from Lake County, and it was definitely worth the trip! Madison was very helpful and even introduced me to another native tree, the Pawpaw, and I bought 2! I will definitely be back when I'm ready for some more trees. Their prices are great too! Please consider native plants when you start your Florida garden/food forest, they're so much more beneficial for the pollinators, you and your Florida landscape. Thanks Madison!! And Andrew too!5/5 SP
    • What a great experience! Knowledgeable, friendly, incredibly helpful! Started off with buying two trees but definitely plan on going back for more. So many options and varieties we hadn’t even considered but thru expert guidance we now know what we want for our dream landscape. Prices are great too!!5/5 Josh
