Virginia native plants evolved in our area, so they are well adapted to our local soils and climate. They are generally unaffected by late frosts, summer droughts, and other seasonal challenges with which other garden plants struggle. This class will focus on specific plants that are both native to  Virginia and have good availability at our local nurseries. Some of the plants discussed will be appropriate for container gardening (pots on a porch or patio). By planting natives, you can support wildlife such as birds, bees, and butterflies, while making your life easier!
