Pell's Citrus & Nursery
My family and friends all say I love to dig in the dirt! That's because gardening is my favorite hobby and I enjoy learning about fruits and plants. I didn't know that Pell's Citrus & Nursery has been here for over 75 years until a friend mentioned it. We visited their location on Doyle Road in Osteen. Read more… There we had the opportunity to see how the citrus is processed from the time it is picked off the tree. We got to sample all different kinds of oranges and grapefruit. They also let you walk around their 24 acres of ornamental and tropical plants for sale. I have to admit that it was overwhelming! Not only do they have just about every type of plant that grows here in Central Florida, each variety is offered in different sizes. It was so special visiting a real old time Florida family business and they are happy to share their years of experience on growing flowers and plants. They also sell marmalades, jelly and honey and their famous fresh squeezed orange and grapefruit juice. Yum - I never knew that vitamin C could taste so good! Pell's will ship most everywhere and put together gift baskets. I know where I'm going from now on for special gifts to send up north to my relatives. I took home a bag mixed with several orange varieties, Pineapple and Navel. I sampled each and couldn't decide which kind I wanted so they let me mix them. Everyone that works there is so nice and helpful. I only had a little time to explore Pell's and didn't realize there was so much to experience. I'm definitely going back next month to check out some of the flowers for my spring garden.  Christine Kee DeLand             |
