Authentic Long Island Native Plants and Tick Bite Prevention

Thanks for a wonderful 2022 season of support for our Bee Friendly Native Plant Nursery.  New members took advantage of discounted prices and natural landscape services. While the season is over for us, and plants are being put to bed, we will be still busy updating web content, and requesting donations to cover some hourly help,  and working on our planting list for next year. Want to be involved? Contact us.
We grow and sell bee friendly pollinator plants for rewilding Long Island's natural biodiversity and also natural landscape design consulting services. Our bee friendly pollinator, native plant nursery offers homegrown and local native grasses and wildflowers for parks and gardens. We grow and field test them to better understand how plants interact in varying light, soil, and habitat conditions. We're open most days, but you must contact us in advance, by appointment only. We also sell weekly at the Port Jefferson Farmers Market on Sundays, May through the end of October.
