Shopping for Native Plants

How to Shop for Native Plants (PDF, ~84 KB).

Our list of Native Plant Sources, lists nurseries and other plant vendors that have indicated that they sell plants native to our region.

We have a Shopper's Protest Card you can download and take with you when you go plant shopping. You can give these to the nursery growers to help to enourage them to grow the native plants you want, or to inform them that certain plants are invasive.

    What: Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy's Native Plant Sale

    Where: Morven Park main parking lot, 17195 Southern Planter Lane, Leesburg, VA

    Native plants add beauty and interest to your garden year round and provide important habitat for wildlife. Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy’s Native Plant Sale is the place to buy spring-blooming flowers, vines, trees, shrubs and ferns from four local native plant nurseries: Hill House Farm & Nursery, Nature By Design, Seven Bends Nursery and Watermark Woods.

    The sale takes place at Morven Park’s visitor parking lot (access via main entrance on Old Waterford Road) in Leesburg, VA. Each of the nursery owners are on hand to provide expert advice, along with knowledgeable volunteers from Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy. The sale runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. If you have boxes for carrying your plants, please bring them. If you have extra boxes, bring them for others to use.

    Community groups including the Loudoun County Master Gardeners and Virginia Master Naturalists participate in the event, sharing information on their programs and how to support local wildlife with native plants. The sale also provides an opportunity to learn more about Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy’s programs. LWC’s “Wild Shop” offers books and other merchandise for sale.
