Join fellow R–UTN members for a visit to select east end nurseries on Tuesday, May 12. We will be visiting three different locations.

Felix Wholesale Perennials is the largest nursery of its kind with a breathtaking selection of perennial plants and unbelievable prices — and all sales are cash only. They feature a large selection of roses, shrubs, unusual lilies and dahlias.

Middle Road Plantations features beautiful annual flats, patio pots, vegetable plants, hanging baskets, geraniums and assorted 4″ annuals at really terrific prices.

The Peconic River Herb Farm has a most impressive variety of herbs, shrubs, trees, pottery and water features, all in a beautiful country setting on the Peconic River.

Following the visits to the nurseries we will have lunch at Jerry and the Mermaids, a casual restaurant adjacent to the Riverhead Aquarium.

Meet to carpool at the IGA on 25A in Northport/ Kings Park, or call Bill and Gloria Hall at 631-697-1442 for directions to meet at our first stop.
