text: Father Nature has been a local independent Garden Center for 40 years, setting our roots in 1973 at the Bay Shore Farmers Market. From the beginning, our goal was to combine our local knowledge and experience with the highest quality plants and garden products available in 1982, we moved to our current location at the corner of Sunrise Highway and Irish Lane. To continue our philosophy of personal service, the owners Dan and Rob are still on the sales floor every day. So stop in and talk with the people who know Long Island’s Soil, climate and the plants that thrive here. We are always willing to share our knowledge to ensure your gardening experience will be successful.
