Important!

• Print this directions page if you want to visit Tropical Boonies. Google or Mapquest search WON'T PROVIDE exact directions and most likely you'll get lost by them.
• If you are coming from :
  • Ft. Myers, Naples, Cape Coral - then use SR-31 instead of I-75. It saves you at least 30 min (see directions below).
  • Ft. Lauderdale  or Miami - then use US-27 instead of I-75. It saves you at least 2 hrs (see directions below).
  • Tampa area - then use I-75 (see directions below).
  • Orlando area - then use US-17 to Arcadia (see directions below). It much faster than US-27 or I-75.
  • Ft. Pierce - then use Hwy 70 to US-27 (see directions below).
  • Outer Space - then you're welcomed here. We're sure you can find directions yourself.
    
• Review our online store availability before planning your shopping trip to Tropical Boonies, which is always up-to-date. Top Tropicals is NOT an ordinary nursery with rows of hundreds of plants of the same kind; we have hundreds of rare species (some of them only a few plants count), and if you come without your homework done, you may get lost in our huge selection. Please make sure you know what you want so you can save your time and ours.
• We suggest you to print (or write down) a list of plants you got interested by visiting our online store and catalog, with SCIENTIFIC (!) names, and we will be happy to assist you on the field to make a wise choice, and to suggest which plants from the list will fit your needs and which won't. It will be much easier to help you if you know what you are looking for. Please keep in mind: this is a mail-order nursery where plants are organized for shipping needs, rather than displayed for retail sales.
  And of course, please do not expect to buy here sod or ficus for a hedge :-)

Our street number is:

47770 Bermont Rd, Punta Gorda, 33982
