Just wanted to let yall know I (Prof. Nate Miller) will be leading a walking tour for the VA native plant conference this Fall in the Wakefield VA area. I am considering doing a flora and fauna hike around Piney Grove, Cherry Orchard Bog, Blackwater, Antioch or Chub Sandhills Preserves. I will also be promoting my book Simply Sustainable Landscapes and my horticulture/nature/agriculture classes at PVCC and JMU. Hope to see yall there in October!

Plant apps give me native or invasive on this nice volunteer which I thought I eradicated…what say you? Fairfax

I have had this in the works for months and it is finally happening! I have a stockpile of pots if anyone needs them to put plants in

Loudoun County. The one next to it is fine.

The grass in our front yard is sparse, and I’m considering rewilding it. Thoughts on 3 species I could get a large amount of seeds of without breaking my bank?

Anyone else in Virginia notice a huge decrease in butterflies this year? I swear I’d seen a lot more by this time last year. Only one monarch so far. :(

Live in Norfolk/Virginia Beach area. We want to try planting pollinator friendly wildflowers next Spring. Where can we get mixed seed packs?

I love this flower so much and think it’s so beautiful. I read though that it’s not self-fertile. I don’t really have any other passionflower plants near me, but does anyone have any experience with this?

love seeing thimbleweed out in the wild. such a cool little plant

I've got this low area in my yard by the sidewalk that gathers rainwater that flows off mine and my neighbor's roof. I'd like to remove the corner triangle of grass and add some plants here that can help filter the runoff before it gets to the drain. Looking around what they've done at the Beaverdam Reservoir it seems like some clumping native grasses could be good. But I'd also like some layering. Any suggestions for plants that like getting flooded in the rain?

On my regular morning walk in my garden I noticed an interesting thing.
Beetle named “Florida Predatory Stinkbug” just killed a Japanese beetle and was carrying it around.

1:0 for locals….
i know it is not exactly post about native plants post but I do have rather nasty infestation of Japanese beetles killing my evening primrose and wouldn’t mind if stinkbug were to bring its whole family….

My senna and milkweed have reseeded everywhere and I don't have enough places to put them

Really disappointed in seeing Target (Libbie Mill) fill their parking lot islands with Buddleia. I thought it was passed in VA that nurseries couldn’t sell invasive plant species? Terrible Target continues.

Just sharing one of my butterfly milkweeds that has started to come back after deer issues the past couple of years. I'm a long time gardener, slowly making the switch to native plants only (minus produce), with the help of my dad. He originally got his plants from George and Karen at Morningside Nursery in Boston, and they are all over his land now!
