I am coming to Aruba in July and just learned that there is a garden center - Fantastic Gardens. It is located on the north end of Aruba east of the Aloe factory.

Has anyone been there?
Are there plants for sale?

Thanks,
Dave

I have been there several times. They have beautiful orchids,as well as all types of indoor and outdoor plants .It is a huge place with outdoor displays.
They also sell all types of planters and stayues,including colorful kunuku
houses, which make nice gifts!

I wonder if they are set up to bring plants back to the USA. They might just have some neat orchids I just can't live without.

NOPE
per USDA and customs
you cannot bring back live plants or cut flowers to the USA.

unsure about "shipping though"

Where exactly is FLORA located? I heard their advertisements on radio but couldn't figure out their address.

Hi Eagle Beach Boy, Flora Market is next to Price Smart near by the airport.

How great is that, two garden centers to visit. I can't wait. Thanks for the second place to check out.

Flora is a great place. We just bought two huge (over 4ft tall) terracotta pots for our home last week. They have a great selection and their prices are very reasonable.
