#RoyLathamNatureCenter at Inlet Pond County Park
65275 County Rte. 48
Greenport, NY, 11944 United States

A list of plants available will be posted here a week before the sale.

Based at the Roy Latham Nature Center, the organization models environmentally responsible landscaping practices, including the replacement of #InvasiveSpecies with native plants, #WaterWise #gardening, and #HabitatCreation.

Proceeds from NFAS’s spring and fall plant sales directly fund ongoing #restoration projects, including initiatives to plant native plants and trees throughout Inlet Pond County Park."

Little fuckers:

Killer shrimp are named because of their aggressive feeding habits; they consume large amounts of aquatic insect larva and food that native fish rely on. They also kill large amounts of organisms but don’t actually consume them.
