Great variety of things to buy from plants to pottery to stuffed animals to fruit butters. really enjoyed the chickens. would recommend as a tourist trap if youre passing through or as a place to get plant supplies

From my experience, you cant ask much more of a nursery than you can find here. Every variety of plant that you can conceive of that can grow in a Floridian environment is pretty much available. They place special focus on plants that are attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds. Sod is available in a number of varieties.I was with family for this trip. The kids loved getting up close and personal with the cows and chickens.The gift shop was quite nice, but very crowded. Literally, it was so packed that maneuvering was a chore.Since we were sort of under a time constraint, I was unable to totally explore, but it was quite large. Lukas Nursery is a natural playground for the senses.

This place is the Costco of gardening! I absolutely love it! The staff is very friendly and everyone acknowledged myself and others. The walkways are clean and clear and safe without trip hazards. Loved the pottery barn. Saw some staff actually cleaning each and every clay pot... that was awesome too. All kinds of annuals that youd have to wait for major retailers to bring, they already had and they were in bloom.This place is truly a delight to walk around it felt like the supply store to Bok Tower Gardens. I will be making many more trips to the nursery from now on! Theres so much, you need a whole day to visit. I do suggest bringing your own cloth bag for small purchases as I only saw large flatbed carts. It was my first visit, so I might not have seen small baskets for smaller items.Im glad to see a local business with such massive inventory.

I visited for the first time today and I was pleasantly surprised. Im not sure why I was expecting poor service and overpriced items but neither was met in that capacity. Over the phone, I spoke to someone very friendly and when I arrived, everyone was extremely helpful and friendly. The prices of the plants were fairly reasonable as well. I will most certainly return!

Huge variety of plants and trees. Friendly, helpful staff. Butterfly garden was cool.

Wow, this place is gorgeous! My boyfriend took me here as a surprise, its such a magical place. Ill definitely come here for any plants that I need in the future, the grounds are huge and theres so much to see!

Beautiful place with a variety of plants and statues 🌿🌿🦖

This place is Amazing!! very impressed. large variety of plants. alot of flowers to attract butterflies and hummingbirds

The staff was really nice and helpful the price was a pretty fair price for the butterfly encounter and the nursery is very colorful with so many different plants.

Lukas Nursery is one of the friendliest nurseries and has the most diverse plant selections in the greater Orlando area. There prices are very good and competitive to other nurseries or big home shopping stores. Been buying plants here for years and the staff is extremely knowledgeable and always willing to help. Lukas has all types of indoor and outdoor plants for our climate and a variety of plant pots and containers. Add in the Butterfly experience and you cannot go wrong. Plant lovers will spend an hour or more at Lukas because there is so much to see.

Loved being able to have such a wide variety of plants to choose from plus my kids loved the staged woods animals. Great place to help kids see the diversity of plants.

It was fun my grandson had a good time. He liked when the butterflies landed on him.

Love it here. Great selection and such helpful people. You’ll definitely find what you are looking for.

I’ve been a longtime Lukas customer and have never had an issue. Today, while picking up a tree (not a cheap one either) I was met with the worst customer service I’ve encountered ANYWHERE. The first employee I found had just finished helping another customer, made eye-contact with me, literally shrugged his shoulders and then walked away. Odd, so I just kept looking for help to locate said tree. Then I run into Karen (her actual name) and explain “Hi, we just called about a Persian Lime tree.” Her response? “Okay, and?” Umm… what? I’m not sure why she was so rude. Maybe she was having a bad day? But as someone that has a customer service based career, I was a little shocked. I ended up finding the tree. The two stars are solely for their product quality. This interaction really bothered me.

Absolutely beautiful Nursery! We bought a gardenia and several beautiful plants. We bought a bag of 1,500 ladybugs too. Will be back!

Love this nursery! They always have the best selection of plants and gardening supplies. The staff is always very polite, knowledgeable and helpful.

Words do not do justice to how wonderful this nursery is. The people are knowledgeable and friendly and will be able to answer almost any question you have regarding plants. They carry many Florida native plant options and have a fantastic selection of beautiful pottery. 12/10, best nursery Ive found in the Orlando area.

Alex and Chris were so helpful. I needed sod and know just about nothing when it comes to gardening. Alex made great recommendations, and Chris performed a miracle getting all the sod into my car. Great staff!

I went to get sod and the cashier called someone to help me load it. When I got to the sod section, there wasn’t anyone. I asked one the associate name Christopher helped load the sod in my vehicle. I was very happy because I was on my lunch time and had to get back. I appreciate that he went that extra mile instead of saying, let me get someone to help you.

An absolutely amazing nursery! The staff is so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The plants are healthy and what a huge selection of flowers, trees and shrubs, I was overwhelmed in a great way!! Well worth the longer drive to have such a great experience, I’ll definitely be back!

We had a wonderful experience shopping at Lukas Nursery today. They have an incredible selection of plants, pots and everything you need for gardening. Bruce was incredibly knowledgeable and answered all of our questions & helped us pick the right shrubs for our project.Skip the big box stores that just hire anyone to work in their garden center and don’t know a thing about plants and come to LUKAS NURSERY instead!

I dont usually write reviews and...although I did not find the type of shrub I was looking for, I want to give a shout-out to staff member Christopher Ramgoolam ( I hope I did not misspell his name) . I had a question about a shrub I could not find and went up to the young man who was working out on the grounds. He stood up and answered my specific question and included more information about the plant and walked me over to show me alternatives for the particular shrub I could not locate. The options he spoke about and showed me turned out to be better ideas than the one I was looking for. He is very knowledgeable and pleasant! I have not always had the greatest of an experience with customer service, but Christopher was outstanding. I hope he is working there when I make my next visit.

A lot of product, well laid out and well marked. A fun place to go if you are into gardens and plants.

Everyone is super helpful, took my son into the butterfly encounter and learned about the annual flutter pass. What a savings to visit. Didnt have the croton plants I was seeking, hence the 4 stars, but customer service is 5 stars.

Alex is always so helpful! Love when I can steal him away and hit him with all my questions.

The Staff is extremely helpful.Julian, Julia, and Dulce always offer great assistance on gardening tips This is my only and favorite garden center.

Gorgeous plants, pots, and everything else you need. Friendly staff. They even helped me load plants into my car and put paper down to keep it somewhat clean. I love to walk around first and enjoy looking around and then I go around again with a cart. Looking forward to taking my kids to the butterfly encounter. Easily the best nursery in central Florida

Lukas is a must-go nursery for a wide variety of plants, gardening supplies, and speciality garden decor! The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Whenever I am looking for a special, unique plant for my garden, I go to Lukas. The butterfly encounter is really fun also!

On this particular day, Team Powers came to play in the butterfly encounter for the very first time! And of course we also purchased a few plants. But todays review is about the butterfly encounter. We did have a good time. I will let the pictures and the videos Im posting help you decide if you want to spend the money for this encounter. Hand feeding the butterflies was my highlight.

The nursery itself was nice and well stocked and the staff was pleasant and friendly enough. However we came for the butterfly encounter and maybe I expected too much but Lukas nursery states they have the widest variety of butterflies and the description of the butterfly encounter drew me to expect more. I found it to be a disappointment as the place was dirty, and uncared for ; there is a large tiered fountain as you walk in which was void of water and looked as though it hadn’t worked in a long time there was also a small bird bath that was filled with dirty water and the area where you can hold the butterflies had a dead butterfly in the juice (Gatorade) that you dip your fingers in to feed the butterfly. Not to mention the finches breeding area was also uncared for. The baby birds were kept in a small aquarium like container and that area was also dirty and uncared for. There is a difference between nature and just being dirty. The experience could have been much more enjoyable if the place was better cared for. It was not work the price it should be $5 a person for the condition it is.

I purchased Icon Zoysia from Lukas on Aug 6th. The pallets received were excellent quality. I took 2 1/2 weeks for my sod to catch. Zoysia is by far the best sod and my wife loves the look and feel. If there was a knock when I placed my deposit I was told I would receive a text when it was available for pick up which I never got so I just drove there and was able to pick it up. knowing Lukas nursery I dont hold that against them a knowing that they are busy and the quality was great. If you are looking for great sod, hit up Lukas nursery.

I have not gone there yet! Going on Sunday, Mothers Day. Bringing Mom who is 88, bad hip, but loves gardening and butterflies. I called Saturday morning to ask about what to expect, having someone who needs to be able to sit and take a moment. The young lady I talked to was awesome, she told me about the benches, what time was best to see the butterflies and avoid the large crowds.You cant train people to be like this, its how they are raised... Cant wait, thank you to that young lady..🦋🦋🦋🦋Moms garden, theres more all over...

Such a charming place to see and buy various trees and plantsThe staff are so knowledgeable and helpful

One of the nicest nurseries in central Florida. Plenty of variety and selection of plants. Plenty to see so far expect to spend at least a hour to see most of everything. Their butterfly encounter is also a very nice attraction to visit.

This is easily the best nursery in all of central Florida. Had everything we needed. Treated the kids nicely, loved the sights and smells. Absolute pillar of the community.

Outstanding service wide variety of plants and flowers. The staff is very friendly and helpful place was pack last Sunday but staff had time to render proper customer service. Big out door location so social distancing is very appropriate. Line to cashier is marked appropriately for social distancing. Big plus they give military discounts.

Amazing selection and friendly staff, great for any plant lover!

Beautiful place, great plants

I absolutely adore this place and cannot wait to go back. I bring friends and family here frequently to look at the butterflies and tiny birds, and am always blown away by how much love and care goes into maintaining the butterfly greenhouse. The inside is practically an oasis and theres always something new to see each season. The crafts sold at the shop are adorable and a perfect addition to any garden, and I love to tour around the premises and look at the wide assortment of healthy plants and trees of all kinds. The staff are extremely pleasant and friendly and fantastic caretakers of bugs, birds, and plants alike. A wonderful place to stop by to unwind and maybe come home with a nice venus fly trap as a friend.

Lovely experience! Butterfly encounter is a beautiful effort by Lukas Nursery where one can spend time with nature and its creation. You can also feed butterflies by dipping your finger in the juice and tge butterflies sit on your finger and start licking it. It gives a slight tickling feeling. Lots of plants, herbs, Vines, flowers, succulents etc. Its a must go place for all plant lovers. Colourful butterflies and flowers made my day. Great place for both kids and adults!

This place is beautiful in scenery and spirit. It’s a great place to go for a low cost outing. The staff are so kind and beyond helpful. Definitely recommend!

Great place for plants ... They claim if it grows in Florida, they have it! Butterfly 🦋 encounter here too. Keep on the lookout ... You never know what youll find hiding around....

Best place in Central Florida for all types of plants and trees. Best selection of native plants and butterfly attractors. Knowledgeable staff if you have any questions or need information.

My family and I had a wonderful time. Ms.Debbie is very kind and knowledgeable about the butterflies and plants. She also assisted me with plants I could grow in NC to attract more butterflies to our yard. I love this place.

Great selectionNot much organic happening. Asked a worker there how they took care of the weeds on the nursery grounds. She said they pull them. I asked if they used the chemical stuff they have on the shelves and her reply wasoh no. I guess its good for the goose but not the gander.

My favorite nursery in central Florida. I got my sod and my Saint Augustine grass plugs here. I planted it around the pool to keep the sand and dirt from getting into the pool and it worked like a charm. It grew in really lush and spread out and now that whole area is just really really pretty. The staff here know what they’re doing and they’ll help you achieve your goals too. I also got the plants here for my butterfly garden. It was more successful than I could’ve ever imagined. Queen and Monarch butterflies laid eggs and develop through the complete metamorphosis. I learned more in that short period of time than I did in any science class I have ever taken. I did have a problem with wasps eating larve but I guess that’s just part of the circle of life. I thank the staff for making sure I had enough plants for the butterflies to feed on while there were going through their life cycle. Lukas is also the best place to buy your orchids.

This was a great experience! The staff are gracious and helpful. It was really neat to get great pictures and having the butterflies landing on your fingertips was so cool!

What a great experience. All friendly, helpful staff. Really pleasant to shop there and fair prices too.

5 star experience! The staff members were great and went above and beyond for us. We will definitely be coming back.

My first visit and it is amazing. If you are looking for any type of plants for central Florida this is the place to go.

The most complete/comprehensive nursery in Central Florida! A wide range of exotic flowers, plants and shrubs not found in big box stores. Lukas provides you the ability to have a lawn/yard thats Best in Show!

The butterfly experience was so fun. My five-year-old loved it!

Great place, so many beautiful plants, statues, windchimes, I went to get a yesterday, today, tomorrow plant, was having a hard time finding it, I saw some people 3 walking towards me so I asked for help, Phil was so kind and helpful, told him it is going to my husbands memorial area, he said to tell the cashier Phil said 10% off, I will definitely be going back, so so much, I want to get, saw a lot of butterflies and bees. Cashier was very friendly also!

Kids enjoyed picking out a free tiny pumpkin.

Always an enjoyable experience. Picked up a few things I cant live without today 4 December 2020. Will come back again.

Nice place to get foliage of all kinds. Wide selection. Very knowledgeable staff

Lukas nursery is a great place to find whatever you want with a lot of help from everyone who works there theyre very attentive to your needs.

Bought a couple of plants. Got a bunch of helpful information at the Butterfly store.Also got help to my car.I love this place!

This should be a 5 star review but the “Customer Care” ruined it.First off the good. Plenty of room to walk around and all their plants are beautifully maintained. There were a plethora of wagons readily available in various locations making it easy & convenient to get one for plant purchases. I could honestly spend a whole day just walking around here.Now the customer care experience left a lot to be desired. We were trying to find a large indoor planter for the fiddle leaf figs we just purchased but were struggling to find a large one that came with a base. I grabbed the largest I could find that came with a base and proceeded to ask Customer Care if there were larger ones because what I grabbed was the largest I could find and she responds with, WELL YOU SURE DIDNT LOOK VERY HARD DID YOU?! So I asked if she could tell me where exactly they were and she motions over towards the same area I just came from saying, over there, then answered the phone and completely ignored my presence.What had a been a great a experience was instantly ruined by the ridiculously rude Customer Care employee.

LOVE THIS PLACE! It was my first time Ive ever been. I had heard it was amazing, but WOW! I will definitely go back. Huge assortment, beautiful plants and helpful staff. Thanks for a great day!

I lived in Florida from 1996 to 2012 and never knew this place existed! Plants were gorgeous and healthy, every staff member we came into contact with smiled, was very friendly and accomodating and knowledgeable. I bought lots of things I dont see other places in the Gift Shop and bought tickets to see the butterflies, but was refunded when lots of lightening, thunder and rain came thru. Only the weather dampened the experience, but thats just Florida in June⛈

Drove a little over an hour away to visit Lukas and it was well worth the trip. Absolutely beautiful nursery with tons of options. Found everything we needed and more. Plan to visit them again in the near future.

Closes at 6pm on weekdays so it tends to get really, really busy on weekends. The fantastic selection though makes it worth the crowds on weekends if thats the only time you can make it there before closing. Very large nursery with lots of options. Highly recommend!

Knowledgeable staff. Tons of plants well-organized by variety and spaced well across a huge area. Indoor/patio/pot sized plants are clearly labeled. They also have all the plants you would need to set up your own at home butterfly garden with specialized experts on just that subject.

Such a hidden treasure! Lukas Nursery has an abundance of plants, flowers, and anything needed for the beginner or expert landscaper.Amongst the tropical trees, vegetable plants and other fruited varieties, youll find a wide array of ground foliage and ceramic pots of all colors, textures and sizes.

Beautiful plants, fabulous layout for the challenged gardener like myself. Doing some planning but excited to come back and purchase goodies to spruce up my home.

Lukas nursery is my go to place for grass plugs, flowers, shrubs and bushes. Today purchased some ornamentals for in front of garage, marigolds for border and some Seville plugs. Easy in and out, affordable and they stand behind thier product.

Chris was so helpful to me and my girlfriends when we were trying to pack up the car with our new plant friends. He was incredibly patient, kind, organized and dedicated to making sure nothing broke. Made our experience that much better! Excellent employee and human.

Beautiful plants. Had the herbs we wanted. Fast checkout.

The nursery was very clean and organized. The staff was very helpful and one by the name of Alex was very knowledgeable. Driving more than an hour away to get to this place was well with it. Excellent place to go with your love one.

Such a wonderfully lush nursery, I was even surprised by some of the rare plants they had. Super friendly and helpful staff. Collette is the MVP, give that woman a raise 👏🏽

Everyone is helpful in every way imaginable. Great prices, amazing services, and a huge assortment of plants.

Absolutely amazing place and company!!Not only do they have everything you could need, but they are extremely helpful. I have been working with Tom to get my lawn looking nice and he has been a life saver. He is always there when I need him and explains everything. I will be a customer at Lukas for life because of their customer service.

This nursery is a beautiful place to roam and has the best quality of plants in the area. Visit the Butterfly Encounter is the summertime when the weather is warm! My spouse and I got married there in December 2020. We love it.

I’ve purchased about 45+ plants at various price points at this shop. Like other customers that have written bad reviews, I’ve experienced horrible wait times and inattentive staff but I brush it off.The reason that prompted me to write this is the recent email exchange I had with the owner/one of the owners. I explained that the Viburnums that I purchased were bunched together 3-5 in each pot and that a few, not all, have started to compete and become stressed. The others are growing very slowly because they’re stunted but the leaves are beautiful and very green and lovely. I said I do not know if their shop grows them or not but it’s a terrible thing to bunch them together to show a bigger plant and be able to sell it faster. Caleb Lukas’ response was to tell me that my plants have other issues and plants only compete once they’ve matured. Sorry, not the case. I’m glad I noticed the issue myself and have remedied the ones that weren’t thriving. Look elsewhere for accountability. If you choose to shop here, make sure to pay attention to the plants you buy. If you don’t decide to separate plants that are bunched together in one pot, you’ll likely end up with some dead parts of the bunch a few months down the road if not sooner and you’ll have a very slow growing shrub.

This is got to be the best nursery in Central Florida! At least its the most complete with varieties of everything you can think of that Ive seen. We traveled all the way from Dr Phillips across town because theyre the only place we could find that had St Augustine plugs in three different St Augustine varieties. Well worth the trip.

Wonderful!! Beautiful, so many plants, so many different kinds. Everyone was very helpful. Nice!

I went to just look at plants and I found this cocktail tree. This is a citrus tree that has other citrus varieties grafted to the tree. 3-6 different types on one tree. The guys loaded it for us and the manager gave us planting advice. Love this place.

Ive been to quite a few nurserys over central florida, but the level of quality in plants is unmeasured to Lukas. Even their $1 dollar plants, grew bigger and healthier than my $5 home depot plants. They have beautiful pottery pots for your plants ranging from all prices and sizes. They do have a wide variety of plants and flowers and I always enjoy my time there.

Amazing place with excellent specimens both common and rare!

I love Lucas nursery but orchid Show was very disappointing. I wouldnt even call it a show. I did find some nice plants though.

Tons of beautiful plants, trees, flowers and butterflies! 🦋🌹🍅🌱🌷🌻 Excellent customer service. Was able to preorder the roses in the color I wanted over the phone and drive up to collect. Dog friendly 🐕

They were very helpful but did not go I to the butterfly because it was 7.00 after I spent 54.00

We originally really liked this nursery. We purchased more than 20 plants and started a butterfly garden in our yard. Unfortunately the last batch of milkweed that we purchased seemed to have been treated with pesticide and it killed most of the caterpillars that we were raising to become butterflies. We wrote to Lucas Nursery and after 3 days, they never replied outside of their auto-reply. This is not our first attempt to raise butterflies. The way that the butterflies died after eating the last batch of milkweed matches pesticide poisoning. Do not go here if you are raising butterflies. You would have thought that a place with butterfly encounter in its name and that has a section dedicated to butterfly plants would know not to use pesticide and reply to our email.Choose another nursery.

Great selection of lawn and garden supplies. Gorgeous and very peaceful there, too!

It was such a great experience! Made buying plants super easy! Tons of help, especially from Christopher! He was like a magician loading up our car with tons of pots and plants!! Thank you!!

Amazing service and beautiful plants, the staff is very kind and helps with my dumb questions.. got help and directions. A+

Fast, cheap and very helpful!!! I go there a lot because of the friendly service as well... Awesome place

Great price. Love their selections

A little disappointed. They were out of the specific thing I went for.

Excellent place for plants . Huge choice on decoration plants and trees. Beautiful planters and very helpful personel. Comming back soon.

I love lucas nursery Ive been a few times over recent years although Im really disappointed at how frustrated an employee became when I asked a simple question and mentioned I had already called in the morning and was told something different. If they werent the only one in the area with what I came for I wouldve left and gone somewhere else.

I loved it. We butterfly garden and had so many monarchs that our milkweed was totally eaten to stalks only and we still had 8 big caterpillars so I needed milkweed and wanted purple passion vine as well. We loved the butterfly encounter. My first visit there and we will be back . Thank you so much

Do you need a plant or anything garden related? This is the place. Even a cool place to take a date.

It was mostly extremely dry and crispy plants today. And only ONE employee spoke in passing. The cashier wasnt even friendly. This USED to be an amazing nursery. Today has altered my opinion. Might give it another chance but its an hour drive one way. Not so much worth the 2 hour trip today.

Amazing paradise for anyone who enjoys relaxing in silence surrounded by beautiful plants.

Love the butterflies they are beautiful, 6$ per person not that bad. Baby quails running around and nice plants. Suggest it if you just want to check out nice plants.

Spent over an hour just walking around enjoying the greenery. So much to choose from! Very friendly staff. They sell their own potting mix. Don’t waste time and money on these chain garden centers. This local plant nursery and butterfly garden is such a better option.

Great selections and great customer service, Ive always have had good results with products and plants following directions of the nursery.

Lukas is a very nice place and they have pretty much any plant you are looking for. The staff is always very helpful.
