OUR STORY
Welcome to AJ Harris, a trusted, family-owned plant wholesaler & transporter delivering vibrant, high-quality wholesale plants straight from Florida's finest growers. With nearly two decades of experience, we specialize in sourcing exceptional tropical plants and providing custom, climate-controlled shipping to nurseries, garden centers, landscapers, and retailers across the country.
Founded in 2007 by husband-and-wife duo Arlin and Joanie Harris, AJ Harris was built on a passion for sourcing premium tropical plants and supporting local communities. In 2023, business partners Jeff Forand and Tim Claitor took the reins—carrying forward the AJ Harris legacy with the same care, dedication, and small business heart it was founded on.
At AJ Harris, we believe in the power of personal relationships. We aren’t an automated service—when you work with us, you’re directly in touch with the owners. From order placement to procurement and climate-controlled plant shipping, we’re here every step of the way to ensure your plants arrive healthy, secure, and on time. Unlike traditional shippers, our plant-knowledgeable drivers personally unload your plants and can offer support, ensuring everything is perfect from our hands to yours. We stay connected with our customers, providing regular updates and offering assistance tailored to your needs.
