On Thursday July 5th at 10 am to Noon, Bette and Roger Gruben invite NNNPS members and friends for a walk in the woods near their off grid workshop in Ditchley, VA north of Kilmarnock. 

On the walk you'll see several types of mosses, ferns, Virginia native wetland plants.  Also see the recent additions of Virginia native carnivorous plants and their companion plants to be planted near their frog pond, which still has remaining tadpoles of the illusive Spadefoot toad--first ever reported in Northumberland County!
