Spring Native Plant Sale - MEMBER PREVIEWMember ONLY Preview ON-SITE: April 15, 4-6pmPublic Sale ON-SITE: April 17-18 and April 24-25 9am-4pmEnjoy our native plant sale ON-SITE and ONLINE. Shop today!
NOTE: ONLINE ORDERS on thevlm.org will open as follows.
Choose from an incredible array of beautiful and unusual native plants for a variety of garden sites and styles, from wet ponds to dry rock gardens. Many of these are excellent plants for attracting butterflies, hummingbirds and other wildlife to your yard. The Virginia Living Museum’s horticulture staff holds this annual sale as a fund-raiser, but the real goal is to introduce the gardening public to the incredible variety of native plants that will do well in the landscape, and to educate gardeners about those which are better left in the wild. Native plants are good choices for area gardeners because such plants tolerate the area’s weather and serve as food and shelter for area wildlife, while also providing a good show in the garden. The sale will be held in the Conservation Garden and also will be held online. The Museum’s knowledgeable horticulture staff will be on hand to answer your questions, discuss the wildlife benefits of native plants and help with any particular gardening situations. All plants are nursery propagated and many are not yet available in the commercial nursery trade.
Sale held rain or shine in the Museum’s Conservation Garden.
Admission to the sale is free. |
