About Us
Riverview Flower Farm has introduced a blog and updated their popular website. Their brand, Riverview Flower Farm’s Florida Friendly Plants TM, is marketed at Home Depots throughout most of Florida. The website’s goal is to help Florida gardeners be successful with plant selection, use and design. The blog will feature plants that can be found in stores season by season. Emphasis will be placed on the environmental benefits of using environmentally friendly approaches to Florida gardening.
Riverview Flower Farm uses sustainable production practices. Their soil mix is formulated with compost and inoculated with beneficial micro-organisms that protect roots from disease and increase fertilizer efficiency. Techniques such as biological pest prevention and drip irrigation earned Riverview Flower Farm the Commissioner of Agriculture’s recognition with the Environmental Leadership Award in 2006.
