Periodic Native Plant Sales in Northern Virginia
If you are looking for particular plants, in most cases you can contact the vendors ahead of time to ask them to bring them for you.
And don’t forget our local native plants nurseries
Nature by Design in Alexandria and Watermark Woods in Hamilton, Virginia are open all season to supply your needs.
Earth Sangha is open for plant sales during our nursery volunteer workdays on Sundays, Mondays, and Thursdays from 9am to Noon. If you're picking up a large order (100+ plants), please email Matt at mbright@earthsangha.org before your visit. If you're order is less than 100 plants you can just stop by during one of our regular workdays. If you need to make an appointment for a different time, please email Matt at mbright@earthsangha.org.
Virginia Native Plant Society sells natives on the first Wednesday of every month at their plot behind the visitor’s center at Green Spring Gardens, from 10:00 am until 1:00 pm (April through October). In 2019: April 3, May 1, June 5, August 7, September 4, October 2)
Native plants are also available at most local garden centers (but not at big box stores, with occasional exceptions.) Be sure to ask for plants by their scientific name, as there are non-native versions of many popular plants. Look for our red NoVA Natives stickers placed on plant signs by our volunteers at various garden centers. Native plants are the basis of the ecosystem and are essential for our songbirds, frogs, butterflies, etc.
