Event Calendar

The Lake Beautyberry Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society (FNPS) is having a native plant sale October 9, 2022 at Trout Lake Nature Center in Eustis.

We will be offering native shrubs for privacy fences and shelter and nesting areas for the birds as well as colorful native wildflowers for the pollinators. We will also be offering vines and ground covers and butterfly host plants. All plants were grown locally by Green Isle Nursery in Groveland. Native plant informational handouts will be offered and chapter members will be available to help you choose the best plants for your purpose and site location.

The sale starts at 9:00 a.m. and ends at 1:00 p.m. at the Trout Lake Nature Center, 520 East, County Road 44, Eustis (entrance off CR44). Gates open at 9:00 a.m. Parking will be in the central area near the main building where there will be parking volunteers to guide you. Volunteers will be available to help you load your car. Cash and credit cards accepted. Feel free to enjoy the trails at Trout Lake Nature Center while you are there.

Proceeds from the sale will benefit Lake County’s Lake Beautyberry Chapter of the
Florida Native Plant Society to help us promote the preservation, conservation, and restoration of the native plants and native plant communities here in northern Lake County, Florida and Trout Lake Nature Center.
