Description

Save the Cove Nursery is a community effort to buy the old nursery at 600 State Road 13 and keep it out of gas-station use. Neighbors have already turned back three Daily’s proposals on this land beside Fruit Cove Estates. The goal is a permanent purchase so the parcel stays green, quiet, and compatible with the homes and school bus stop next door.
