THIS EVENT, ORIGINALLY SECHEDULED FOR JANUARY 24, 2026, WAS RESCHEDULED TO SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2026, DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER. ALL DETAILS REMAIN THE SAME.
At 1:00 there will be a presentation in the Executive Auditorium entitled: The Plot Thickens! Solving the Mystery of How to Use Your Yard to Help the Environment! Join volunteers from Washington County Master Gardeners, Wild Ones of Appalachian Highlands, and Holston Rivers Chapter of Virginia Master Naturalists to hear a success story about a small garden plot in the town of Abingdon that is already having a big impact on the environment. You'll hear about partners, processes, and plans for what's next. You'll also learn how you can make big differences in small ways to develop critical native habitats with your own plots at home.
Following the talk, the Seed Swap will begin. Many local gardeners, organizations, and farms will have seeds to share. Feel free to bring your own seeds to swap with others, although this is not a requirement.
This event is co-sponsored by Sustain Abingdon, Washington County Master Gardeners, and Wild Ones Appalachian Highlands.
