Winter On the Native Plant Trail

As temperatures fall and the days shorten, most of Virginia's native plants go dormant, but some hardy plants have evolved the ability to tough out winter's weather while others leave behind conspicuous stems, seeds, and berries. Learn more in our seasonal guide to exploring the Nancy Larrick Crosby Native Plant Trail. And come out for a visit.
