Native Plant Sale after all Sunday Masses on May 31 and June 1, 2025!
Blooming flowers and growing plants are magnets pulling us outside to the garden. The new growth inspires us to get out there, clear away the dead stems, pull those pesky winter weeds and dig into the fresh spring earth. We are lucky to have a great local resource, Earth Sangha, for advice and information about our Northern Virginia native plants. The local cultivars provide just the right habitat for our pollinators, songbirds and butterflies, and they are well-suited to our environment, needing little added water or fertilization. They are a bit different from the mass-produced offerings found in retail outlets but are more likely to establish themselves and return to beautify our landscapes and nourish our wildlife for years.

Opportunity to Compost Your Food Scraps
If you want to compost but cannot do it at home, a new County composting program may allow you to compost at a local farmers market.
The County's composting pilot program expanded to make the service available at three county-operated farmers' markets and one non-profit market thanks to a partnership between the Department of Public Works and Environmental Services and the Park Authority.
