If you live in Virginia and have the capacity to see, a simple glimpse outside the window may elicit a quickened pulse if you’re lucky enough to be within eyeshot of the Eastern Redbud (Cercis canadensis) tree, currently ablaze. From pink to purple, with the occasional touch of red, this brilliant native is a showstopper for two weeks or so in the early spring. Half a century from now that might be February, but let us all take actions to prevent that.
We are back in the garden. Group volunteer hours are Fridays from 3:00-5:00 and Sundays from 2:00-4:00, weather permitting. For more information, reach out to garden@pvcc.edu.
