Periodic Native Plant Sales in Northern Virginia
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.
Native plants are also available at most local garden centers (but rarely at big box stores.) 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 these garden centers. Native plants are the basis of the ecosystem and are essential for our songbirds, frogs, butterflies, etc.
