| July 8th is the scheduled trip for the Peconic River Herb Farm.
This is a really nice rural style nursery. It is mostly outdoors with a few hoop houses and out buildings. There is a wide selection of perennials, annuals, tropicals, shrubs & trees. The layout has a relaxed rambling atmosphere. Paths are laid out in sunny and shady that encourage you to wander around leisurely. Peconic is a lovely family run business that employs knowledgeable caring staff members. I have bought several trees here (with consultation from the owner) and my travel buddies bought annuals and perennials. There is a view of the Peconic river with shaded tables and chairs to relax in. It is a nice place to visit and shop.
The farm is located at exit 71 off the LIE. It takes me about an hour and half to get there from Oceanside, but the trip is worth it. Also another exit past, is the LI Perennial farm. I don’t have any info about the place, but it could be a two in one trip with some planning.
If you would like to go, but won’t be around, sing out, we can always reschedule.
Hope to hear from everyone…..
