Florida Ferneries

Florists from around the world buy ferns to add to their flower arrangements and bouquets of roses. Nature lovers enjoy the fresh greenery of having ferns in their homes and gardens. Ferns are grown in warm, tropical shade in fernery greenhouses, many located in Central Florida. Pierson, Florida, is known as "the fern capitol of the world" and started growing ferns from seeds that originally came from Italy in 1904.
