Ten Mile Creek Nursery takes pride in growing beautiful plants native to the coast of Florida. These second tier plants, found on the "back" beach areas from 100 yards to a couple of miles back from the shoreline, offer erosion protection, exceptional drought tolerance, and simple beauty. Most have been propagated from plants doomed for destruction on construction sites along Highway 30-A in Walton County, Florida.
