There are over 850 species of plants native to at least one county in the Southern Piedmont region of Virginia!
We are currently working on a regional native plant guide “Native Plants for the Southern Piedmont of Virginia” to highlight approximately 300 of the native plants found in most of the counties and cities of the Southern Piedmont. We will post a downloadable version of the guide on this page, once it becomes available.
Until then, you can download the plant lists for each section of the guide and a few brochures.
