Native Seed Collection w/ VHCC and BRDC

Join The Nature Conservancy, Ben Casteel of Virginia Highlands Community College, and staff from the Blue Ridge Discovery Center for a native plant seed collection and seed exchange event. This event will highlight the importance of native plants, particularly in residential/small scale applications, as well as demonstrate collection methods, and seed starting techniques that native seeds require. Afterwards partipants will have an opportunity to collect native seeds, including goldenrod, wingstem, false sunflower, aster, milkweed, and many others. To add to the plant diversity, participants are welcome to bring native seeds to share with others.

There will be a carpool option from Abingdon for anyone needing. Details will be provided to those who register and are interested in carpooling.
