Hello!

I was wondering if anyone knew of a nursery that sells gopher apple and saw palmetto in the Orlando area? I am a state wildlife rehabber for bats and gopher tortoises and I am designing a tortoise enclosure for my backyard. I would love to plant these for my mending tortoises to graze on!
Thanks! Heather
Thanks! Heather

Heather, give Kevin Bagwell at Full Moon Natives in Port Orange a call. He has both of those on his "in stock" list, but it's always best to check before you go. 386-212-9923. And good for you for your rehab efforts!

We're lucky to still have quite a few gopher tortoises in New Smyrna. If you're ever down this way make a visit to Smyrna Dunes Park and walk the boardwalk. You're pretty sure to see one.

Save the Gopher Tortoises! I love those little fellas. Even bigger lover of Bats. Gopher Tortoises and Bats are everywhere here in Wekiva in Longwood.

Charles, Ive had more bat calls from your area than perhaps anywhere else! Ive met so many people who are bat lovers from your neck of the woods =) So great!
