You’ve gotten rid of your car, shop the local farmer’s market with your cloth bag, and purchased green tags to offset your vacation. And still not quite satisfied you are doing all you can to reduce your carbon footprint. Adapting your way of life is important so you want to feel like you’ve made strides that impact both the environment and your wallet.
The Virginia Bluebells were the first to spring to life this season in CNT’s native garden. And it won’t be long until tall beauties like Wild Columbine and Golden Alexander and ground-dwellers like Blood Root and Wild Ginger follow. The garden serves as a habitat for monarch butterflies, milkweed bugs, downy woodpeckers, and even a Ruby-crowned Kinglet.
