This weekend is the Annual Plant Swap and Native Plant Sale!

Plant Swap this Sunday, June 26, 2 p.m.

Our annual plant swap is a great way to clear that garden of plants you can't possibly throw away...but also, you can't fit anything new and exciting in the garden either. Just dig something from your garden that you know someone else will love and bring it along. Thanks to enthusiastic swappers, we always have hundreds of plants to choose from. We also always dig a few interesting things out of our garden just to spice things up. Come enjoy the company of other gardeners along with some delicious refreshments to help get through the heat. This year, we're doing a lottery system, so get here at 2 p.m. and get your number. Swapping starts at 2:15. At the same time, enjoy the...

Native Plant Sale for a Cause

This week is Virginia Pollinator Week & not that all good pollination plants are native, most native plants are good pollination plants. Natives grow happy here in Virginia because it's home. And we're putting all our natives on sale this weekend at the farm. All natives plants in all pot sizes are 30% off this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday only. As we did last year, we're donating 10% of the weekend's sales to the Piedmont Environmental Council, one of our favorite local non-profits. Now's the time to Nativize your garden!
