Gardeners are invited to shop the Native Plant Sale at the Virginia Living Museum in Newport News over two weekends this month—Sept. 16-17 and Sept. 23-24—from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. all four days. Members of the VLM have exclusive early access during the Member Preview Sale on Thursday, Sept. 14, from 4-6 p.m.
The Virginia Living Museum Native Plant Sale features more than 150 different species. All plants for sale are free of insecticides and propagated at the museum from seeds, cuttings, and plugs. A list of anticipated native flowers, grasses, trees, and shrubs will be available on the VLM’s website, thevlm.org, one week before the sale.
During the sale, the VLM’s Horticulture Department staff and volunteers will be available to help gardeners choose plants based on a variety of needs. Many gardeners choose native plants in order to attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and other wildlife to their yards.
Proceeds from the sale support the educational experiences and conservation efforts ...
