About
Rocky Farms Nursery on Seabreeze Lane is a working plant nursery and wholesale operation in Nassau that also welcomes retail and walk-in customers. With a 4-star rating across 68 reviews — a meaningful sample size — it's a well-regarded local business with a genuine plant selection rooted in the Bahamian climate. For families, this is an off-the-beaten-path Nassau experience that exposes kids to tropical horticulture in a hands-on way.
Walking through a working nursery filled with tropical plants, many of which kids have never seen outside of a hotel lobby or restaurant, sparks real curiosity in young children. The names, colors, textures, and smells of tropical plants create a natural sensory playground. The nursery operates primarily as a wholesaler but accepts retail visitors, and purchases are possible.
Tropical plants from the Bahamas can make unique, living souvenirs — though families should check agricultural customs rules before attempting to bring plants across international borders. For families staying in Nassau for several days, a nursery visit makes for a peaceful, unhurried morning activity that costs almost nothing if you're just browsing. The Seabreeze Lane location is in a residential part of Nassau, so you'll need a car or taxi.
Go in the morning before the sun gets intense.

Why Kids Love It
Rocky Farms Nursery is a real working plant nursery where kids can walk among rows of tropical plants — palms, bromeliads, flowering shrubs — that they've never seen before. It's a low-key sensory experience that curious kids find surprisingly engaging, especially when they get to help pick out something to take home.
Pro Tips from Parents
- Check customs and agricultural rules before buying plants to bring home — many countries restrict plant imports
- Kids who ask a lot of questions will get the most out of this — staff know their plants and are often happy to explain
- Morning visits are far more comfortable in the Nassau heat — go before 10 AM
What to Bring
- Sunscreen — minimal shade in a nursery setting
- Closed-toe shoes for walking around the nursery grounds
- A curiosity about plants — otherwise it's a short visit
