Spring planting is on the minds of many of us these days, but you want to plant native since you know it helps our whole ecosystem when you do! 

You can search our Gardening for Wildlife Plant list for information on specific plants here or download the whole publication.  The plants listed are native to our area.

Well here’s a great program offered by the Loudoun County Master Gardeners that will help you in your plant choices:

Should I plant this plant? How many times have we thought of this? Is it the wrong one to plant for this space? Is it invasive?

Come to the Loudoun County Master Gardener Lecture Series on Thursday, March 1 at 7:00 pm to hear Carrie Blair, from the Virginia Native Plant Society, talk on the Benefits of Using Native Plants versus non-native invasive plants. 

Carrie is a Fauquier Master Gardener and a Warren County Master Naturalist. Carrie will help us to understand the importance of using Native Plants.

The location for this program is the Loudoun County Extension Office, 30 Catoctin Circle SE, Suite B, Leesburg, VA 20175.  Lower Level Conference Room.
