Kaity is the owner/operator of Parallel Nursery in Richmond, VA, and is an ecological horticulturalist with experience in both traditional and native plant care, integrated pest management, & landscape design. She will be providing a brief presentation to help gardeners of all skill level thrive side by side with the wild, and answer any questions about using Virginia native plants in your garden!
