Huge shoutout to the Charlottesville Parks and Recreation horticulture crew for their feature in the latest edition of Issuu SYNKD South! They've worked hard this year to turn a part of the Downtown Mall into a local oasis. Their unconventional approach incorporated local and regional native species such as mayapple, wild strawberry, and penstemon that provide a pop of color to the urban environment and a habitat for native pollinators.

Thank you for showing us how innovative thinking can bring native life back to our community! 🌼🐝
