Meet the Team

Central Florida Lands and Timber Nursery is a fourth generation nursery with over 40 years of experience.

Central Florida Lands & Timber Nursery, LLC was born from humble beginnings in 1983 by Marvin Buchanan of Mayo and Jimmy Mincey of Perry.

CFL&T started as a land and timber management and harvesting company headquartered in Perry, Fl. As part of its management, CFL&T established a pine and hardwood seedling nursery on Marvin Buchanan’s farm near Day, FL. The nursery provided quality reforestation plans for various sites in North Florida and South Georgia.

As time passed and markets were established, CFL&T placed some of their seedings in containers for landscape, mitigation, and reclamation industries. This facet of their business grew tremendously and shaped the business into what it is today.

On 120 acres, CFL&T has grown and marketed over 30 million seedlings annually with a goal to supply high quality plants for container crops. Our containers range from 1 to 65 gallons and are shipped from Florida, west to Texas and North as far ad Maryland.

Marvin’s son Matt is now the owner and operator of the nursery. He is supported by a small staff and his sons Dylan and Mark.
