The Garden Club of Yorktown Blog
Hello Neighbors! We want to share our knowledge of native gardening by providing you with a native plant resource. We will regularly highlight a new plant to help you decide if it’s a good fit for your yard. Occasionally, we’ll blog about what our club members are doing to support our local pollinators and educate the community and help you in your own garden with our periodic gardening tips.
If you aren’t familiar with the hardiness and environmental benefits of native plants, then read, “Why Plant Natives?”. If you’re ready to start planting, then browse our plant fact sheets and visit our resources page. Follow our blog by visiting this page regularly and/or be notified when we’ve added a new plant, by signing up for our monthly newsletter at the bottom of this site.
