About Us

Both MRT ACE locations are proudly Florida’s largest and most complete tropical garden centers. 

MRT opened its first store in Venice, FL in 2003 and its second location in Port Charlotte in January of 2020. We are very proud to be a multiple award-winning garden center, nursery, and landscaping company that has been serving Southwest Florida for 17 years.  As the largest plant nurseries in Southwest Florida, both MRT locations have everything for your gardening, landscaping, and decorating needs. In 2019 MRT partnered with ACE Hardware to offer a more complete shopping experience at both retail locations by offering full outdoor living, hardware, paint, electrical, and plumbing departments.

MRT Lawn and Garden Center has been a family-owned and operated business since its inception in 2003.  Our extended family of employees are all dedicated to providing our customers with over 100 years of combined expertise in the lawn and garden industry.
