The Potomac Gorge provides habitat to more than 200 rare plant species and natural communities, making it one of the most important natural areas in the eastern United States. However, the habitats to be visited are fragile. So, this walk is by registration only, and first priority will be given to those members who have volunteered to remove invasives in the gorge throughout the year. To register, please call or email Marianne Mooney at 703-534-8179 or m.mooney@comcast.net for confirmation and directions to meeting spot.<br /><a name="beltway"></a><br /><strong>POTOWMACK CHAPTER FALL PLANT SALE, Saturday, September 16</strong><br /> Join us at our propagation beds behind the Horticulture Center at Green Spring for our fall plant sale from 11am to 3pm. Fall is the best time of the year to plant, so come out for a great selection of ferns, shrubs, shade and sun perennials. We will be carrying nectar plants and host plants for monarch butterflies. We will also have more spicebush, VNPS wildflower of the year.

Third Sundays of the month from March until October, Marion Lobstein, assisted by Joe Metzger of the Maryland Native Plant Society, leads wildflower walks there to discover what is currently in bloom. Marion, an associate professor of biology at the Manassas Campus of Northern Virginia Community College, has been conducting these walks for the National Park Service since the late 1980s. Come join Marion, Joe and other wildflower enthusiasts on July 16, August 20, September 17, and October 15. The leisurely two and a half-hour walks begin at 10 a.m. outside the Visitor Center, lower level.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30044957-115435656569537483?l=www.vnps.org%2Fchapters%2Fpotowmack%2Findex.html'/></div>VNPSWebmasterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00964024098911128641noreply@blogger.com0
