Nursery Update

We hope you, your family, and friends were safe during the most recent hurricanes! Hurricane Milton inflicted some wind damage to the Dune Sunflower Nursery on October 9th and 10th, but we are back up and running! Milton brought well over 10 inches of rain to our location and 75+ mph winds. The tree in the above image damaged the metal roof of the new shade shack, but the wood frame remained strong and intact.
