Mission Statement: "A heritage nursery is needed for propagation and maintenance of the heirloom variety of trees, shrubs and flowers from the Dudley landscape. The long-range goal is that a plant nursery should be established outside the Dudley home place but within the park, to propagate samples of all garden plant materials and important tree varieties important to Dudley Farm."
Our mission has broadened to also serve as a fundraising partner to support the Friends of Dudley Farm. We grow those “heritage” plants which are heirloom and original to the farmhouse gardens. We also grow plants native to Florida, many of which are also vital for attracting pollinators to your yard.
