Updated Mosquito Fact Sheet

Virginia Tech recently posted a revised fact sheet for mosquito control in yards and near dwellings. It deals with the most common mosquitoes that develop in small containers and standing water. Please follow this link: http://pubs.ext.vt.edu/ENTO/ENTO-202/ENTO-202.html

Fluvanna Cooperative Extension Master Gardeners (FCE-MG) volunteers can help you identify the mosquitos in your yard if you have concerns about disease-carrying insects.  Mosquitoes to be submitted for identification will need to be adult stage and dead.  If you have any questions, please contact  VCE-MG at 434-591-1950, by the Contact tab at the top of this web page, or at any of our scheduled Help Desk sessions at the Fluvanna County Public Library.

Jefferson Chapter of the Virginia Native Plant Society May 1 – Annual Native Plant Sale

May 1 from 1pm to 3 pm - Jefferson Chapter of the Virginia Native Plant Society Annual Native Plant Sale at Ivy Creek Natural Area.    Shop the Annual Native Plant Sale on May 1 at 1:00 pm in the barn. Join the largest crowd of the year at Ivy Creek for the Annual Native Plant Sale sponsored by the Jefferson Chapter of the Virginia Native Plant Society. Chapter members will have potted over 1,500 native plants with an emphasis on spring favorites: Virginia bluebells, trillium, Mayapple, wild ginger, Dutchman’s breeches, wild geranium, and others. Summer and fall flowering pollinator attractors including milkweed, beebalm, coneflowers, liatris, asters, and goldenrods will also be featured. Uncommon native trees and shrubs will be offered too. A large portion of the profits are donated to Ivy Creek Foundation, while other educational and conservation activities are also supported. These very affordably priced plants have sold out quickly. In conjunction with the Annual Plant Sale, Ivy Creek will be holding a Yard Sale near the kiosk as well. So check out what the winter and spring cleanings have cleared out from the attic and the barn. The Yard Sale will take place in the Education Building if the weather is wet.
------ The Ivy Creek Natural Area is located six miles north of Charlottesville, VA, at 1780 Earlysville Road. It is one half mile from the intersection of Hydraulic and West Rio Roads. (Google map).
