Description

America’s natural landscapes have shaped human experience and national identity across the country’s 250-year history.  During this two-part program, take a one-mile walk through Virginia bluebells and other spring wildflowers on Virginius Island with a park biologist . After learning more about how the National Park Service protects and preserves native plants in parks, join author Nancy Lawson (The Humane Gardener, Wildscape) as she illustrates how you can use native plants to add beauty, solve problems, and create habitat in your own yard. 

Reservations are recommended. Reservations will open in the spring.
