I can attest to the awesomeness of the Minglewood swiss roll special, I got to test them this past weekend.

Hellebores and the most common variety of hydrangea are not native. Wild hydrangea is, and Alumroot is a good substitute for hellebore.

Yeah forget the health benefits, climate impact, and animal welfare let's put it down because people who don't have options can't do it. Just say you like chicken bro.

Hellebore, passionflower, black-eyed Susan, hydrangea. But if you have deer, they will mow down your hydrangea. The rest are pretty deer-resistant.

Most of the nurseries, even Sneed's, will sell cultivars as natives. This can, but won't always be, harmful to local ecotypes of our native plants because they can sometimes crossbreed. Just keep that in mind when shopping for natives anywhere. People who know what they're doing will indicate this on their inventory or be able to speak to it.
Also the natives that will be best for you will be dependent upon the conditions in the spot you'd like to plant. The local native growers can be super helpful, but you should get familiar with the moisture and light conditions in your yard. If it's your first year in this spot, note that the sun angle and quantity will change with the summer sun and foliage.

I actually founded a WoW guild with some local players a few years ago. The biggest issue was getting everyone on the same side.
It was called Avail; but I haven't played WoW in years.
Good luck on your search!

News flash: we live in a first world country.
I’m not vegan or vegetarian but support people who choose those diets and also restaurants providing options for them.
Tofu and beans are way cheaper then meat and eggs too so I don’t really know what you are getting at saying it’s “bourgeois”.

Bed. With my eyes closed. Sunrises contain rays that cause harm and should be avoided.

I already tried in December after first trying in 2019. It's still a no go. I'll give it another shot the next time I use Fi for travel.

Echinacia Rudbeckia and Yarrow do very well here. But definitely talk to the folks at Sneeds for their recommendations!

Talk to your county extension agent. They can point you in the right direction, it's what they do.....

If you have business in the city proper (or Arlington or Alexandria) it’s better to do in every conceivable way. If your final destination is in the wretched stretches to the West like Fairfax and Tysons up to dulles and ashburn, you’re gonna hate life.

The north east tip of bell isle there’s a muddy beach with logs to sit on. It’s one of my favorites.

Reply to Social anxiety therapists? by notevenclosebabie
VCU Psychology Department still has an anxiety clinic I believe. You are seeing by a graduate student under supervision, but with that you get the latest treatments and payment is on a sliding scale.

I visit various boonies throughout the state, and it hasn't been an issue. For the savings you can potentially get, it's worth a shot.

Reply to If you buy a ticket in person at the Altria Theater Box Office, do they charge the same heinous "ticket fee" that they do online at etix? by klm2978
I always try to buy tickets at box offices or physical locations when I can. The fees are usually a lot cheaper, only a few dollars, and they are usually going to venue instead of ticket master or axs. Tickets are sometime not often cheaper too.
The National sells tickets for VACU live and Plan 9 sell tickets for a lot of Brown's Island shows
