When I first started learning about Virginia’s native plants, I found myself jumping between dozens of websites just to piece together basic information—what grows where, which wildlife each plant supports, and where to actually buy them. To make things easier, I began collecting all that information in one place to guide my own yard restoration project.
Over time, I realized others might be on the same journey—looking for a simple way to discover native plants that belong here in Virginia and help local ecosystems thrive. This website is the result: a growing resource that brings together native plant details, their habitat needs, wildlife connections, and nursery sources, along with helpful comparisons to non-native species and suggestions for native replacements.
My hope is that it helps you, too, whether you’re rewilding your backyard, starting a garden for pollinators, or simply curious about the plants that make Virginia unique. Whether you find this site helpful or you notice an error, I'd love to hear from you
