With so much information out there, what digital resources should you know and trust? Kathy Sink, Wild Ones Member and Master Naturalist, Audrey Clark, Master Naturalist, and Jennifer McCarthy, President of the Blue Ridge Wildflower Society, have been trained in the use of the Flora of Virginia App. They will demonstrate what it is and what you can do with it. You'll learn how to create your own plant list for use in planning your garden, how to use it to identify plants, and how to learn about our native plants and the plant community to which they belong.

Depending on time, we'll also review other apps such as iNaturalist/Plant Net and their companion app Seek, VT Tree, Google image search, the Virginia Wildflower App, as well as some online resources such as the Flora of Virginia, and useful plant ranges maps such as the BONAP and USDA Plant Range Map.
