To Our Valued Customers:

Tropical Storm Fay blew right by Homestead but when it got here it became stationary and the feeder bands continued to dump rain on us. We did have standing water in low-lying parts of the farm for a while last week. This has caused a 10 day disruption to our business that we’re working out of now. The fact that many of our plants are doing well makes us appreciate the growing media we have custom blended for maximum forgiveness amongst the different crops.

Many areas of our main farm were unaffected.  As mentioned in the previous update, our new location was unharmed. We are taking orders now and will begin shipping Thursday, August 28^th. Our new availability reflects the plants in which we are confident of their quality. 
We remain dedicated to ensuring your success with our product.

Please consider us first for your upcoming orders – it will be greatly appreciated.
 Thanks to all for their calls of concern for our nursery.

Many Thanks,

The Staff at Kraft Gardens

  To Our Valued Customers:

Tropical Storm Fay passed through Kraft Gardens this week, dumping more than 18" of rain on our nursery in a short period of time.  We have flooding at our main location on Kings highway that has yet to go down.  Our new location 7 miles west on Orange Avenue has not experienced any flooding.

We are regretfully suspending shipping while our employees and resources remain dedicated to salvaging what we can here at the nursery, and of course assessing damages so that we can quickly and confidently get back to servicing our customers.  We want to be absolutely sure that plants will be free of current or future damage as a result of the standing water before we broadcast an updated availability.

 We will certainly keep everyone posted on our status for availability and shipping, and send out updates as we gather more information on material we will be able to ship and timelines for doing so.

 Thank you for your understanding and continued support during this critical state of   emergency we are experiencing.
