Manatee Farms

Manatee Farms was started by The Preston Family in 1892 as a citrus grower. In 1911, we began growing and shipping gladiolus flowers. In 1974, Manatee began its potted plant operation which covers over 20 acres and consists of a variety of plants including potted chrysanthemums, poinsettias, Easter lilies, foliage plants, and a variety of seasonal outdoor and indoor plants. The green house operation serves markets all over the country as well as grocery chains, and local retailers.
