Another vote for Goney’s Nursery & Landscape, and agreement with the suggestion that you have to be very careful at the big box stores, which do not have Florida-specific tags on their plants for hardiness and care; full sun is a whole 'nuther thing here than further north! And as Village Tinker warned, if you want bamboo be very sure to get from a good nursery to ensure it is really clumping bamboo; they truly will stay in a single spot unlike running bamboo which is a real problem in this climate!
I also agree with K&B, Fairfield Farms, Village Palms, and would add Struthers Nursery, 27041 County Rd 561, Tavares, FL 32778
I would much rather browse a garden store than go clothes shopping - on my list to still get to are Garden Spot Nursery, 5960 South Pine Ave Ocala, FL 34480 and Bob Wines Camellia Gardens & Nursery, 2610 SE 38TH Street, Ocala, Florida 34480. Another suggestion is to drive your golf cart around and take a good look at the neighbors yards to see what looks good to you, and stop and talk with folks about their plants; what is a struggle and what is thriving for them.
