Hardin's Nursery

Don’t forget, a beautiful new rose bush or gift certificate from the nursery make a fabulous Father’s Day gift!

Hello ROSE ROCK STARS of Tampa Bay! We hope this finds you well and living the dream!

SOMETHING YOU NEED TO KNOW:

The nursery will be closed on Saturday July 4th in honor of Independence Day so we can celebrate freedom and our nation’s incredible history!

We’re happy to tell you about our latest shipment. Please note, some of the varieties are limited in quantity, so call and speak with someone on Saturday to verify we still have what you’re looking for (813-839-6151)!

As a reminder, if you’re adding a new bush to your garden we also have planting soil that will help to establish the root system and start promoting new growth and new blooms right away! It’s another special recipe developed by Mr. Hardin that is arguably the best rose formula for the price on the market today.
