Our nursery is located at: 2205 SE 23rd Place, Gainesville, FL 32641-1474
If you use your GPS you may end up at the local landfill … these directions are the best way to find us easily!
DIRECTIONS:
- Go East on University until the road splits to the right for Hawthorne Road.
- Turn right onto Hawthorne Road (State Road 20).
- Take the next right onto SE 15th Street.
- Go South on 15th Street for about 1.3 miles (past the Gainesville Blueberry Farm on your left)
- Turn left at 23rd Place.
- Please drive slowly from now on. Our hosts receive complaints from their neighbors if people drive too fast on the dirt road. This creates a dust hazard for the people and property we drive past, as well as endangering the animals and one small child who live in the area and might wander out into the road.
- Go to the end of the paved road, and through the gate with all the no-trespassing signs.
- Continue on along the dirt road, taking the left fork (straight is a private driveway) and then the curve to the right.
- If the gate is closed, please re-close it behind you.
- Pass the fenced enclosures with chickens and sheep on the left and a raised house on the right.
- You’ll see the Edible Plant Project Nursery on the left.

Hello,
I was so happy to see that something like this has come up in Gainesville. I have been studying permaculture and other forms of sustainable agriculture in New Zealand for the past year, and am greatly wanting to design a food forest eventually on the 8 acres I have to play with. I still have much to learn, particularly on the Melrose ecosystem, but was wondering if and when I can be of service to help, and learn at this place. I will not be fully available until the New Year, and will be trying to go to the Philippines as soon as possible to work on a forest garden there, but am greatly inspired to see what it is going on at this place. Thank for starting it up, and please send any pertinent info about work/volunteering.
