Blue Moon advertises itself as the largest purveyor of native plants in Rhode Island, and owner/founder Jane Case belongs to both the Native Plant Trust and Rhode Island Wild Plant Society. Blue Moon sells both straight species and cultivars of native plants including local ecotypes (Eco59 natives and Rhody Natives). After lunch on your own, member Judy Preston will lead a botanizing hike along a former airfield that has been recolonized by (mostly) native plants within the Ninigret National Wildlife Refuge, Charlestown, R.I.
