Events at Morven Park

Each patch of habitat in a native plant garden becomes a collective effort to nurture and sustain the landscape for birds, butterflies, bees and other animals. Restoring native habitat is essential to preserve biodiversity. A Fall planting of natives generally outperforms those installed in the Spring. Root growth in the Fall, when soils are warmer and more aerated, is more extensive, compared to Spring when there is rapid top growth. Hill House Farm and Nursery (www.hillhousenativeplants.com), Nature by Design (www.nature-by-design.com) and Watermark Woods (www.watermarkwoods.com) will be selling native plants, shrubs and trees at this sale sponsored by Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy. To see the plants each nursery carries or to place orders ahead of time (all nursery stock is not present at the sale), visit their websites.
