Love talking about native plants? Love gardening and shopping for native plants? We have the perfect volunteer opportunities for you!

There are two big plant sales coming up in the area soon, and we need folks to represent our VNPS chapter. It's a lot of fun, and no experience is necessary - just a passion for native plants!

The first opportunity is at the Loudoun wildlife native plant sale in Leesburg on April 11 from 9-2. The second is the blandy garden Fair at the State arboretum on May 8, 9, or 10, from 9-4.
