Welcome to the Florida Fern and Cut Foliage Directory From the Fern Capital of the World Wholesale buyers of cut foliage products should contact the growers and shippers in the "Fern Capital of The World". Florists and others using live cut foliage should ask for foliage produced in the Fern Capital area of Florida for fresh, lush, long lasting greenery. Pierson, Florida (The home of Chipper Jones) is the heart of the "Fern Capital of the World". Growers here and in the surrounding areas of North Central Florida grow a wide variety of the finest ferns and cut foliage in the world. Optimum growing conditions coupled with nearly 100 years of knowledge produce superior plants. These growers have access to the vast resources of the University of Florida and UF's Central Florida Research and Education Center in Apopka, Florida. Years of experiments by dedicated researchers such as Dr. Bob Stamps and his teams contribute greatly to quality, color and longer vase life. These growers love what they do and take a lot of pride in what they grow. It’s a tough job. If they are not fighting the weather, it’s bugs, low prices, or the regulators. They always seem to win though, and their products show it. You may find cheaper florist greens in other places, but you won’t find the VALUE you get in the "Fern Capital of the World". |
