In the heart of Miami, the Midtown Garden Center thrives, a lush oasis of green that stands in stark contrast to its surrounding hustle and bustle. You have Ninfa Diaz and her family to thank for the charming space. For the past six years, they have been the caretakers of a gorgeously diverse selection of greenery.
Diaz’s shop specializes in more than plants too. The space hosts Nomade, a casual outdoor Argentinian concept that serves bowls, wraps, smoothies and more (pro-tip: you can BYOB). The Garden also welcomes anyone just looking to hangout or work remotely. Of course, while you’re there, it’d be a shame if you didn’t grab an arrangement from resident florist, Zoom Bloomz.
Since Diaz and company opened up shop, their space has evolved along with the neighborhood—which seems to be growing as fast as their plants. But even with increased foot traffic, Ninfa treasures her relationships with regular clients and continues to find ways to create a familial atmosphere. Next time you stop by, mention Support Local Florida for a free four-inch succulent with your purchase.
