Fall Native Plant Sale 2011

Public Sale -Continues Sept. 24-25 - Sat. 9am-3pm/Sun. noon-3pm

Choose from an incredible array of beautiful plants and many other native trees, shrubs and perennials.  It is the time of year to do the majority of your heavy gardening.  Transplant and divide, remove the plants you don't like and make additions to enjoy next year!  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 as always, 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.
