More volunteers needed to put red stickers on native plants at garden centers - We need volunteers at Stadler’s in Bristow as well as at Meadows Farms in Herndon, Great Falls, and Leesburg. Email plantnovanatives@gmail.com. This is a wonderful way to learn about native plants that are suitable for home landscaping.
Upcoming native plant sales - Native plant sales are starting now. You can also find native plants at conventional year-round nurseries and our native-only nurseries.
Can you sign up for one or two events this spring? Please help out for a few hours at one of our tabling opportunities. No experience necessary, just a basic understanding of the role of native plants in improving our local ecosystem. Please sign up here.
