Highland Grove Nursery is a working plant nursery in the hills of south Lake County, just off US-27 on County Road 561. We grow and stock trees, palms, shrubs, ornamentals and flowering plants chosen for Central Florida's sandy soil and summer heat, and we sell to homeowners, HOAs and landscape contractors alike.
Open 8:30–4 Monday – Saturday · 20525 County Rd 561, Clermont, FL
Everything on the lot is selected for Lake County conditions: fast-draining ridge sand, hot wet summers and the occasional winter cold snap. Ask our team for drought-tolerant and Florida-Friendly choices, shade plants for oak-canopy yards, salt- and wind-tolerant palms, privacy hedges, and flowering shrubs that give you color year-round.
Because we are also a full-service landscaping company, you can buy plants here and have the same crew install them, add irrigation, lay sod or refresh your mulch beds. Bring photos of your yard and we will help you pick the right plant for the right place.
We carry sod by the pallet (St. Augustine, Zoysia and Bahia varieties), premium mulch, pine bark, decorative rock, river rock and soil amendments. Delivery is available throughout Clermont, Minneola, Groveland, Montverde, Winter Garden and the surrounding area.
Bring a few photos of the area you want to plant and rough measurements, and tell us how much sun it gets. We will walk the lot with you, suggest plants that fit the spot and your watering restrictions, and load your vehicle or arrange delivery for larger trees and pallets. Open Monday through Saturday, 8 to 4. All sales final.
Ask what works in sandy ridge soil, full sun or oak shade. We install what we sell.
Sod pallets, mulch, rock and larger trees delivered across south Lake County and west Orange County.
Contractors, builders and HOAs: see wholesale details.

“I had a lovely experience at this plant nursery. The plants were healthy and well cared for, and the staff were friendly and happy to answer my questions. There was a great selection, and I found exactly what I needed. I’ll definitely be back!”
Plants that handle sandy soil, summer heat and occasional frost: viburnum, podocarpus and clusia for hedges; crape myrtle, live oak, magnolia and sylvester palms for trees; firebush, plumbago, muhly grass, coontie and dwarf bougainvillea for color. Our nursery grows and stocks these because they succeed in Lake County.
Muhly grass, coontie, firebush, beautyberry, saw palmetto, dwarf yaupon holly, Walter's viburnum, simpson's stopper, blanket flower and most native palms. These need little irrigation once established, which matters on Clermont's fast-draining ridge sand and under the current watering restrictions. Ask at the nursery for a Florida-Friendly plant list.
Fall through early spring (October–March) is ideal: roots establish in cooler weather before summer heat. Container plants from our nursery can be planted any month with proper watering; avoid planting tender tropicals right before a freeze.
Saw palmetto, coontie, muhly grass, beautyberry, firebush, Walter's viburnum, longleaf pine, sand live oak and scrub-adapted plants evolved on exactly this ridge soil. They need almost no fertilizer and little water once rooted.
