Plant Native Festival

The 5th annual Plant Native! Festival is a celebration of the native plants that are critical to a healthy environment. As one of the largest events of its kind in Virginia, the festival collaborates with dozens of vendors who offer a wide variety of regional native plants in one location, making it easy to find the right plants for your yard or container garden. The Plant Native! Festival has something for everyone. $10 vouchers to purchase native plants at the festival will be available on a first-come-first-serve basis. The vouchers, distributed by the Dorey Park Farmer’s Market, were made possible by a donation from the Henrico Environmental Action Resource Team. Native trees will also be given away for free, as supplies last, through a grant from the Virginia Department of Forestry. Need advice on landscaping with native plants? The festival will offer workshops for adults. Kids will learn about native plants and the animals they support at special craft tables. There will be an Insect Costume Showcase and Parade for children 12 and under. Plant Native! Festival partners believe everyone can find a reason to love Virginia’s native plants. Whether it is their beauty, their crucial role in restoring the food web, or protecting watersheds, native plants offer something meaningful for every member of the community. The Plant Native Festival is a great place to sprout or keep growing your love of native plants.
