WOFVA CHAPTER PLANT, TREE AND SHRUB SALE

The WOFVA Chapter Plant Sale is over, and it was a huge success. Thanks to everyone who volunteered their time and talent to help us offer this event again this year. Thanks to everyone who bought plants to add to the habitat so necessary to sustain our pollinators and a biodiverse environment.
