A series of new laws hitting the books this summer seek to rein in invasive plant species in Virginia.
The measures make new opportunities for localities to collaborate on invasive control, set new requirements on the state Department of Transportation's management of plants on highways and close a loophole on how plants are prohibited from sale in the commonwealth.
I’m sick of weed eating my creek edges and looking for something low growing that doesn’t have to be cut back. I have over 100 yards of creek frontage on a small creek so it can’t be anything too expensive. Anyone have any good suggestions?

Some of the gardens are works in progress, some are the result of years of curation by professionals in their own homes, some are in HOA communities and some are not, some have high deer pressure and others do not.
Tomorrow (5/9) and next Saturday (5/16) from 9am to 1pm is the rva annual native plant garden open house. Come check out some spaces and see what is possible. Entry is free and most places will have some genre of free native plants. I have a plethora of purple passionflower vine starts to take over your yard! It's fun, come check it out!
Hi all, here with an odd question! I am getting married in a few weeks and am gifting my bridesmaids seed packets for flowers native to their area. I live out in California so I'm very familiar with the types of seeds that are easy to grow by simple seed broadcasting out here. But, one of my bridesmaids lives in Springfield VA and I'm having a hard time figuring out which seed packets to order for her. Any suggestions on native flower species that are easy to grow through broadcasting?
