Adding native plants to your landscape can help restore some of the habitat loss that is driving extinctions of native wildlife. Native plants provide shelter and food for wildlife, promote biodiversity and require less resources because they are adapted to the climate and soil conditions where they naturally occur.This plant sale will provide revenue to further the mission of the Virginia Native Plant Society, which is the “protection and preservation of the native plants of Virginia and their habitats.” The funds will be used to provide educational grants for local youth to install native plant gardens in our community.

An inventory of plants will be made available on September 1.

Payments will ONLY be accepted through PayPal or by check.

Masks will be required to attend this event.
