Recommended Resources from Joanne Hutton at October 19, 2021 Meeting:

"The best resource for gardeners I can recommend is our Plant NOVA Natives Guide, Native Plants for Northern Virginia, available online or for order here:

https://www.plantnovanatives.org/. There's a mobile app that goes with it that addresses deer resistance, and a wealth of information including sources of native plants in the area.

Master Gardeners of Northern Virginia have put together a lot of excellent materials, which include their "Tried and True" plant descriptions (https://mgnv.org/plants/), and a virtual classroom series on natives (https://mgnv.org/sustainable-landscaping/).

Additionally, your members might enjoy a cache of recorded webinars (with two more lives ones coming up) sponsored by the Plant Virginia Natives campaign (of which Plant NOVA Natives is part and parcel): https://www.plantvirginianatives.org/webinars-landscaping-with-virginia-natives. The fee is $10 for full access to twelve presentations by a range of statewide authorities, to include Doug Tallamy."
