This weekend, Reflection Riding Arboretum & Nature Center’s Native Plant Nursery will reopen to the public, offering nearly 100 plant species to beautify your outdoor spaces.
Beginning Thursday, March 20, the nursery will be open Thursdays-Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Pro tip: If you’ve never checked out the nursery before, follow the signage beyond the Welcome Center and past the main field to get there.
Upon arrival, you’ll see tons of plants to choose from — from spring blooms to late-season perennials. Check out the full plant list to see:
- Plant species and availability
- The amount of sun + water each species needs
- When the plants will bloom + what color the blooms will be
- What types of wildlife each plant attracts
Why plant native species? These plants are suited to the Chattanooga region and provide vital habitat + ecosystem services for wildlife, including pollinators, which helps preserve the area’s biodiversity.
Bonus: Want to give the gift of native plants? Gift cards are also available for purchase online.
