The 40th Northern Alexandria Native Plant Sale will take place on Saturday, September 28, from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm at the Church of St. Clement, 1701 N. Quaker Lane, Alexandria. Founded in Parkfairfax in 2003, this twice-yearly sale is recognized as the largest gathering of native plant vendors in a single event in the DC metropolitan region.
Thirteen native plant vendors will be on-site, some traveling several hours from Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and DC. Local musician Jim Sheats will perform at 11:00 am. Admission is free, and parking is plentiful.
The native plant sale has become a tradition in Alexandria. It was founded in October 2003 by Parkfairfax resident Scott Knudsen with help from his wife Jennifer Pease, volunteers from the Tree Stewards of Arlington and Alexandria, and members of the Parkfairfax Woodland and Landscape committees.
