Native Seed Collection and Seed Exchange

Join The Nature Conservancy and Ben Casteel of Virginia Highlands Community College for a native plant seed collection and seed exchange event. This event will highlight the importance of native plants, particularly in residential 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.

We will meet at 1:30pm at the VHCC greenhouse and will ride to the collection site in the VHCC activity bus together.
