Hummingbird Gardens

The back of the property was nice and colorful. The plant purchasing section was noticeably more neglected and not as put together.You are not allowed to take pictures of your own are are required to pay. It's understandable because they make money off of wedding pictures, but just a heads up.

I clearly did not experience the same magic that other guests did here. This place was recommended to me as a cool spot to buy plants, and while there were plants for sale, they were scattered around in a random fashion with no apparent rhyme or reason. Plus - none of the plants for sale had a price on them, or even what kind they were, so when I was interested in one, I had to bring it up to the one person working (the Owner?) to request a price.The gardens for the "event space" part of of this location are gorgeous, with lots of fun and interesting nooks for pictures. This would be a great option for an outdoor wedding. However the "farmer's market" had very limited options, and the "plants for sale" only had confusing options. This was a once and done for me.

I saw the gorgeous photo's of this place and had to go. It doesn't look like the pictures anymore. The difference between what's shown at the website and what you see when you get there is incredible.The sign is a homemade home painted amateurish thing that was falling sideways and couldn't really be read. The flag/banners at the street were also falling over. The dirt road to the venue was weedy.The nursery was overgrown and difficult to walk through. Not a single plant had a price tag, least wise a label with name or growing directions...not a single plant! The only prices we saw in the whole place was on the vegetables.We walked through the venue and it was dirty. We were there first thing in the morning and tables, with table cloths, had been left out (at least overnight but they looked older) and cats were laying on them.We were the only ones there. We walked the whole nursery and venue, and at no time did anyone ever ask us if we needed help, had any questions or even say hello.The place is sorely neglected, but kudo's to the web designer for making it look clean, lush and maintained!

Came here for the first time today and what a magical experience it was! From the music to the plants, the atmosphere was very welcoming. Francesca, the owner was so bubbly and fun to talk to, you can really see the passion she has for her craft. The varieties of plants are so diverse and you see a different plant with every step you take. The peacocks are beautiful and make the experience so exciting. I bought a beautiful succulent and some yummy fruits and veggies. Will be returning :) For all the nature geeks like me, Hummingbird Gardens is the perfect way to see how nature and humans can coexist in harmony. Very great energy all around.

I am forever grateful to Hummingbird Gardens for creating and transcending our wedding into the most magical night of our lives thus far!! I highly recommend having your wedding here! Shani and Francesca are amazing, professional, punctual and detailed oriented. They paid attention to every bit of information I relayed to them and delivered more than I could of EVER dreamed! You will not be disappointed at all! They want to bring your vision to life and their effort and dedication shows. If you are in need of vendors, wedding coordinator or a shoulder to lean on they got it all!!! They host many other events here as well like baby showers and engagements/proposals.

Really beautiful garden. You got to be adventurous a roam the entire place. Full of sculptures and peacocks wow. Also a true farmers market like what farmers market use to be. Not the farmers market nowadays where everything is more expensive than your average grocery store. You can actually buy fruits and vegetables for $2 a container. I am from Orlando. That is my first stop every time I go to Tampa.

Unless you want the generic box wedding in a ballroom , this is your venue! I love the fact that whether it's a small intimate or large wedding the venue provides breathtaking & unique scenery for pre ceremony , ceremony, cocktail, dinner, dancing & exit / last dance. As a Dj , I have done more than one wedding at this venue , each of them have had different set up & timeline yet still felt rich & authentic to the couple desired ambiance vs the generic hotel ball room with up lights I am used to.The time of day/night , the temperature climate variety , the blooming season , the natural light , even the seldom beautiful horses in the far background, that I saw once makes this venue your go to for something personal & memorable.The Management team is what you want, not employees earning a paycheck but owners that care & take pride in the venue & clientele, they are detail oriented (Shani) almost to the point , that a day of coordinator would be redundant. She understands vendors need & couples requests thus always easily connects the two with honesty & flexibility.One of my top 3 outdoor venues in Tampa.

The person there was rude as hell and it just wasn't what i thought it was. Very small place

This place is an oasis from heaven. The beautiful plants, the tiny kittens, the peacocks, the farmers market, and Francesca

very friendly and love the area. the prettiest butterflies and lots of history and information to learn. Went with my family and even thought it was a short experience still had a good time.
