Learn more about native plants at Morven Park    

Do you want to learn more about gardening with native plants? Or just get ideas about new natives to add to your garden? Then come on April 13, at 11 a.m. to Morven Park in Leesburg. There will be plants on hand to show you—and even some plants to give away. 

Our area’s native plants are meant be here, so they’re easier to grow and more beneficial to wildlife. There will be a brief introduction, followed by plant suggestions for a variety of growing conditions: sun/shade and wet/dry. There will be plants on display to look at, along with pictures of mature plants in native garden settings.  

The first 10 people who attend the talk will be offered a free copy of Native Plants for Northern Virginia, a great introductory guide published by Plant NOVA Natives.

Then after the presentation, you can look around at what’s available at Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy’s Spring Native Plant Sale. Four native plant nurseries will be on hand. Browse among the plants, and you can ask questions of knowledgeable volunteers and nursery staff.
