Fleet Farming began in 2014 created by the community during a sustainability think / do event called The IDEAS Hive.
Since then, Fleet Farming has had international press including a National Geographic Documentary focusing on Fleet Farming as a solution to the local food crisis. Now, as Fleet Farming continues to lead the lawns-to-farms agricultural movement in Central Florida, the program is hosting plant sales at their headquarters and nursery in West Orlando!
“The local food movement is crucial to combat climate change,” said Fleet Farming Nursery Manager, Danielle Roberson.
“At our nursery, we not only sell low-maintenance, edible plants, fruiting trees, and herbs so you can grow your own food at home, we also sell Florida-friendly ornamental plants that encourage pollinators and other beneficial insects to repopulate our beautiful City of Orlando, and help our edible plants grow. We have it all at our nursery! Come visit us and we’ll teach you all about the plants you want to grow.”
