If you are interested in community landscaping, gardening, and learning about native plants, you’ve come to the right place! We’ll be working in the gardens and on programs to support healthier landscaping and the environment in our community. Many projects have already been done, and we have more to do.
Please check the HOA website, calendar, weekly blast and newsletter for additional info, updates and events. Connect with us on the “Broadlands Naturally” Facebook page. Contact chair, Jennifer Crane, at broadlandswildlifehabitats@gmail.com
What is Conservation Landscaping?
In short, it means using Virginia native plants for Piedmont Region, conserving water, creating plant diversity, improving wildlife habitats and using Integrated Pest Management (IPM) while beautifying the areas around us. As part of our responsibilities, we will participate in rejuvenation and replanting projects throughout the community and prepare recommendations to the Board of native plant selections, to be integrated with ongoing landscaping projects.
Ready to start working on your garden with native plants?
We got you covered too! One of our members is a landscape designer specializing in native plants. There will be workshops, such as practical information on what to plant and where. Shady, sunny, dry or wet spots, rabbits and deer problem? Yes, we have experienced those challenges and will be sharing them with you! How about seeing some of these plants growing right here in Broadlands? Yes, we have native plant demonstration gardens too!
In 2008, Broadlands was certified by the National Wildlife Federation as a “Certified Wildlife Habitats Community”.
