A Message of Appreciation from Scott Knudsen
I want to thank all the people and organizations that have pitched in to hold this native plant sale over the past two decades. I could not have continued the sale without the enthusiastic support of so many people.
First and foremost is my wife Jennifer Pease. Even the second sale in Spring 2004 could not have happened without her. Jennifer is a huge part of why this event continues each time.
My friends in Parkfairfax and in the area have been a big support, as has the Tree Stewards of Arlington and Alexandria. Six to eight Tree Stewards assist with the setup of the sale, staff information tables, survey customers about the sale, run a plant-sitting area, and help to clean up.
Members of the Potowmack Chapter of the Virginia Native Plant Society provide information and advice about native plants and their organization. They also offer Plant NOVA Natives guides (titled "Native Plants for Northern Virginia") to purchase.
Other organizations that have helped over the years include the Master Gardeners of Northern Virginia, the Arlington Regional Master Naturalists, and the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service, especially Kirsten Conrad, the VA Cooperative Extension agent based at the VCE office in the Fairlington Community Center.
In the early years, Parkfairfax management and staff were very helpful in providing assistance with the sale. The Church of St. Clement has graciously allowed the sale on its grounds 18 times from Fall 2014 through Fall 2024. Since Fall 2021, Christ the King Church, across the street on Oakcrest Drive, has given us the use of its parking lot for sale customers.
The Northern Alexandria Native Plant Sale truly has been a group effort that continues due to the support of many people. I thank them all.
