We provide the curious with information on planting natives, advocating for critters, developing pesticide free landscapes, and identifying invasive aliens. An equally essential part of our mission is to assist Mid-Atlantic region gardeners in locating native plant nurseries and plant sales. Gardeners have a choice when purchasing landscaping plants… we shout Choose Natives!
When I began my gardening journey, I planted what every other homeowner found at their local garden center. I’d vaguely heard about native plants but didn’t understand why I should choose them. It was only after hearing entomologist Dr. Doug Tallamy speak that I learned I was doing it all wrong! I wasn’t supporting a single living thing with the introduced ornamental plants I was installing. Coddling lots of lawn didn’t help, either...
At long last, we’re excited to announce the return of the Earth Sangha’s seasonal open house and plant sales! No appointment necessary! Join us at the Wild Plant Nursery to shop the DC region’s most comprehensive source of local ecotype, native plants AND learn about grassroots conservation efforts by our partners like the Virginia Native Plant Society, Plant NOVA Natives, local “Friends of” groups, Master Naturalists, and more! For more information about the Wild Plant Nursery, species list, and directions visit earthsangha.org/wpn.
