It’s 2025 Native Plant Sale Time
There are several native plant sales around the region and the state, and we want to spread the word. Our Northern Neck Chapter of VNPS annual plant sale will be held on Sept. 5, 6 and 7. Friday, Sept 5 is a member only sale. It will be held again this year at Good Luck Cellars in Kilmarnock. All funds support our mission to educate the public on the value of native plants and conserving them in nature.
