Tried and True Native Plant Selections for the Mid-Atlantic
This native wildflower grows in deciduous woods and dappled meadows throughout eastern North America. Its alternative common name, Cranesbill, refers to its distinctive seed capsule, which resembles a crane’s bill. The Virginia Native Plant Society honored it as Wildflower of the Year in 2020.
Meet and support MGNV Extension Master Gardeners as we join many other vendors at the Green Spring Gardens Big Plant Sale. We have beautiful and unusual plants, including many Virginia natives, to fill your spring gardening needs. Extension Master Gardeners will be on hand to help with plant selection, answer your questions and offer gardening advice. This is an important fundraiser for MGNV!
The Organic Vegetable Garden (OVG), a demonstration garden supported by MGNV and maintained by Extension Master Gardeners (EMGs), will be a part of Potomac Overlook Regional Park's Florafest on Saturday, May 6, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
