The…read morestore is staffed by friendly volunteers and purchases from the store go to supporting the Friends of Rookery Bay and their mission to provide resources for Rookery Bay Research Reserve's education, research, and conservation programs. At Palmetto Patch Nature Store you'll find carefully curated items for the whole family. They had t-shirts, hats, bags, accessories, tumblers, toys, books, sunglasses, mugs, figurines, postcards, glass art, and prints by local artists. I especially loved the nature themed earrings made from cereal box paper board from Jabebo Studio. They also had magic t-shirts that were black and white but when exposed to the sun turned into color. They had a number of interesting Florida themed books on the topics of history and nature including what just might be Florida's favorite book, A Land Remembered which covers 114 years of Florida history. Most importantly they sell sunscreen, bug repellent, and water if you plan on hiking any of the trails at the Rookery Bay Environmental Learning Center. Water was only $1 so make sure you stay hydrated. Items from the store can be shipped free to your home by emailing naturestore@rookerybay.org, Volunteers of Rookery Bay get 10 percent off purchases.

Took my RC truck there for repairs. They took it apart (took maybe 15-20 minutes) didn't put it back together because the part i bought was faulty. They STILL charged me almost $40. They are lucky they're the only hobby shop around here or else i probably wouldn't go back.

We received a friendly greeting when we walked in and the two staff people were super nice. This place is really cute and we could have spent a fortune since we're suckers for 'shore-stuff'. Thankfully for the credit card we don't have much room in the suitcases. The stuff on the shelves is a cute mix of vintage and modern and also includes a nice selection of jewelry as well. Prices weren't bad for Marco and we were able to walk out without spending a fortune.

The outside of the Clay Place is a beautiful garden with old trees that provide the perfect backdrop to the pottery pieces displayed outside. Inside you will find even more whimsical pieces to explore. The Clay Place has three buildings, a studio, a kiln room, and a gallery. The artist in residence is Jim Rice who I had the pleasure of meeting during my visit. Jim was born in Kent Ohio. In 1973 he moved to Naples where he opened his first studio. In 1980, he moved to his current location on Shadowlawn Drive. Jim creates environmental ceramic pieces that include fireplace tiles, wall murals, pool tiles, animals, planters, serving dishes, bowls, and house numbers. Colors used in the pottery are reflective of the nearby Gulf of Mexico. To quote Jim "Plattery will get you everywhere!" You can find his pottery decorating the The Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club. Pottery ranges from a few dollars to the hundreds. The microwave bacon crisper ($35) would make a great hostess or shower gift as would the ($30) microwave egg poacher. While I was there someone was consulting Jim on their purchase of house numbers. This is a really unique and cool place to look around. You are sure to find something that you fall in love with.

On February 4, 2023 I stopped in to buy two prints that I adored and was very excited about. I wrote the following email to the owner to share my disappointment. I didn't receive a reply or an apology. Dear Sir or Madam, Unfortunately, the gentleman helping me out was rude. I asked about shipping and or extra packaging to protect the prints on the airplane. His response was short and again rude and that he didn't have anything to wrap or protect the prints in. He asked if I still wanted them and I did purchase the prints. I was also not thanked for my purchase. It's now disappointing that I have the memory of two beautiful pictures being tied with the poor customer service I received. I would appreciate an explanation and an apology as to why I was treated in rude manner and not thanked for my $200 purchase. Regards, Jill
