IVY CREEK NATIVE PLANT WALK
Saturday July 18, 2026 - 9:00 AM - 11:30 AM

Join us for an Ivy Creek plant walk led by Wanda SanJule. This is a time when many wetland plants such as rose-mallow (a spectacular hibiscus), pickerel weed, button bush, monkey flower, arrowhead, and arrow arum are usually blooming. This year might be different with the extreme hot, dry weather but it will be interesting to see how the native plants are handling the drought. We may also find various milkweed and St. John’s-wort species and false foxglove in bloom. Dress to discourage mosquitoes and ticks. Bring water and sunscreen.  Co-sponsors:  Jefferson Chapter, VNPS, and Ivy Creek Natural Area and Historic River View Farm. Meet by the kiosk near the parking lot. Free and open to the public.
