Meet Maytee — The Lawyer of the Plants
Every garden deserves an advocate before a bulldozer.
Rescue First. Plant Second.
Maytee founded Maytee's Garden Center with a mission that sets her apart from every other landscaper in South Florida: she evaluates before she removes. While most contractors arrive with shovels, Maytee arrives with a clipboard — cataloging what's already growing, what can be saved, and what truly needs to go.
This philosophy earned her the nickname "the lawyer of the plants" among her growing community of clients across Coral Gables, Pinecrest, Kendall, Doral, and greater Miami. Her approach consistently saves clients money, preserves mature specimens that take years to grow, and results in gardens that feel deeply rooted in their environment — because they are.
Over 15+ years, Maytee has built one of Miami's most trusted boutique nurseries at 15196 SW 184th St — a destination for rare tropicals, native Florida species, and her trademark curated collections of plants that actually thrive in our unique climate. Her expertise has drawn the attention of South Florida media, earning her spots on local television as the go-to expert for Miami gardening.
“Every plant has a story. My job is to make sure it gets a chance to finish telling it.”
