Product Description
About Us
Here at Emerald Goddess Gardens, we strive to provide stellar products and growing tips that reflect our home-grown values. As a third generation female owned and operated small business, family is one of the most important parts of what we do. We are proud to have held on to many of the forgotten histories of the heirloom plants we grow today. Some might say the green thumb gene runs in our family, but we like to think our success comes from the decades worth of hands-on experience that we share with each other and with every order that leaves our nursery.
We can't do it all by ourselves though, so we continually aim to provide a flexible environment that works for our diverse female majority team. The hands that carefully select plants for our orders are an essential part of the family that our matriarch has grown to include women from varied economic, social, and cultural backgrounds.
Some of our most prized plants are those that are hard to find or no longer exist in nature. Maintaining stock on endangered and rare species allows us to increase accessibility for all while ultimately contributing to conservation efforts through commercial reproduction. Native species diversity and protection is very important to us. We take steps to ensure we never unknowingly transport invasive insects or plant pathogens and as such are qualified to ship plants to all 50 states year-round.
The Emerald Goddess Gardens family grows every day as we establish and maintain relationships with our customers nationwide.
Welcome to the family, let's get growing!
Butterflies, Hummingbirds, and More

ButterfliesForm meets function throughout the garden and pollinator attraction is no exception to this rule. Butterflies require a 'landing pad' to rest on while they feed, so larger flowers and those that appear in tight clusters make for the best feeding sites. With a shorter proboscis than other pollinators, butterflies will prefer flowers with a shorter pistil. Butterfly specific flowers include:
|
HummingbirdsHummingbirds typically feed while using their wings to hover near flowers. They will not require a wide landing surface like butterflies which enables them to access smaller singular flowers. The long, slender beak that hummingbirds use to collect nectar allows them to feed from longer tubular flowers. Hummingbird specific flowers include:
|
Other PollinatorsBees, moths, and many other insects have developed unique adaptations to collect nectar from flowers. Luna Moths, for example, are known for their exceptionally long proboscis that they use to feed from exceptionally large flowers such as those produced by Brugmansias. Bees, much like butterflies, will prefer flowers that provide a landing pad, but their smaller agile bodies offer the ability to climb deep inside a flower's pistil. Here they often become covered in pollen, which lends to their reputation as the world's most efficient pollinators. |

Healthy, happy plant!
Arrived as promised, giant milkweed plant is in excellent shape, with new growth peeking out from the main stem! Wish Emerald Goddess had a physical nursery, as I live in neighboring Parrish! I will absolutely order from them again!

I’m so pleased with my Giant Milkweed! It has grown nearly four times it size in a month and half. I waited to do this review so I can have a picture to show. It was wrapped perfectly and a very healthy piece along with information and tips about the plant. Seller generous gave a small appreciation plant for sharing. It was a lovely surprise! But a squirrel dug ours up :( lol!! Thank you! Customer for life now! The butterflies thank you too!
