New River chapter – VNPS<\/a><\/p>\t\t\n\tThe native plant demonstration garden in front of the YMCA Thrift store on North Main Street is a partnership between the New River Chapter of the VNPS and Plant SWVA Natives. The small planter boxes were overrun with weeds when a group transformed the box into a low maintenance native plant habitat.\u00a0 Nicole Hersch spent the colder months, coordinating with VT YMCA for installation, prepping the bed, and aquiring the plants.\u00a0 The beds were planted in April 2021 by David Bellangue, Pat Polentz, and Rosemarie Sawdon.\n

In the beds you will find: Baptista australis<\/i> (false blue indigo), Rudbeckia fulgida<\/i> (orange coneflower), Cornus sericea<\/i> (Red Dogwood), Trandescantia\u00a0virginiana<\/i> (Virginia spiderwort), Penstemon digitalis<\/i> (Foxglove beardtongue),\u00a0Schizachyrium scoparium<\/i> (little blue stem),\u00a0Callirhoe involuncrata<\/i>\u00a0(poppy mallow),\u00a0Clinopodium vulgare<\/i> (wild basil).<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
