Subject: Re: 31 August 2023 by TommyT-Bone on 2023/8/31 19:20:56 From a Florida trade orginization.  Member Spotlight CASEY'S CORNER NURSERY & LANDSCAPING 31877 SW 197TH Avenue Homestead, FL 33030 Phone: 305-248-7284 Fax: 305-245-8445 Many years ago, the mother of Sue Casey took a wrong turn, found a nursery for sale, and just up and bought it. Bam!!!-at 16 years old, Sue and her younger 13-year-old brother were owners of a plant nursery. Shortly after, these South Florida Native Siblings expanded just-a-ways down to the corner of 318th Street and 197th Avenue to what we all now know as "Casey's Corner". And what a corner it is!!! Sue has over 200+ varieties available at any given time. Native foliage's for sun or shade, short or tall. There are even huge varieties including common and unusual flowering and fruiting native trees. There are all kinds of shrubs, native aquatics, mangroves, pines, palms, stoppers, wild coffees, sennas, cordias, coreopsis, grasses and loads of flowering herbs. The specialty-plants that attract birds', bees, and butterflies for a garden and landscape to make your heart full. Tom Casey served with the Air Force and moved on to work over 30 years with the United States Postal Service. Retired over 10 years, he proposed to help Sue with Casey's Corner Nursery & Landscape. There are many things he helps out with but the theory of helping to mow the property birthed the "Honey-Do" list which of course evolved into a special list between husband and wife ;) *wink*. Deliveries are made hours North of Homestead, locally, and even all the way down to the Key West Naval Base. Sue provides natives for all of Florida; people come from all over to get the best quality plant products, customer service, education and inspiration for their intended projects anywhere from Ft. Myers to Texas. Sue knows so much about the native plant world and more. She unselfishly shares her knowledge and proves there is nothing to lose when sharing and educating others. Sue and Tom are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. For decades, neighborhood kids visit and help out, even those wearing diapers...even her cats have helped out!!! ;) Sue wears her heart on her sleeve and always lend a helping hand in more ways than one. If you haven't had the pleasure to stroll her nursery, one day make a visit and you'll find it is filled with birds and butterflies and flourishing seasonal native blossoms and colors. A real sight of opportunity to behold and bring home. Casey's Corner brings plants and people together, landscapes to balance with nature, and our love for Florida Natives to the forefront of our landscapes. |
