About the Cherrydale Garden Club
We are a group of Cherrydale neighbors interested in promoting sustainable
gardening practices and expanding green spaces in our community and in
our homes. Meetings are held once a month, usually on Sunday afternoon,
to socialize, share gardening tips and learn about native plantings.
Our group is committed to promote more tree plantings to enlarge our area's
tree canopy and work toward a greener and more beautiful Cherrydale.
Please Join Us! Email Joan McIntyre [email protected].

Cherry Valley Nature Area Pollinator Garden
|
Be sure to visit Cherrydale's Demonstration Pollinator Garden, created by the garden club at the entrance of the Cherry Valley Nature Area on Quincy and 15th Streets. Installed in April 2021 with a mix of native plants that blooms from April through October, supporting butterflies, bees, and other pollinators. Plants are getting settled into their new home and once established, will fill out the space within the next few years.
The Cherrydale Garden Club meets on the second Saturday of each month to help weed, maintain the demonstration garden and work with Cherry Valley Nature Area Park Steward and Master Naturalist Tom Korns on removing invasive plants in the surrounding area. We welcome all Cherrydale residents to join us in these monthly work parties. For more information on the Cherrydale Garden Club or our work in the Cherry Valley Nature Area please contact Joan McIntyre at [email protected]. |
Help Make Cherrydale Beautiful. Plant a Native Tree!
Trees plays an important part in our ecosystems as well as providing stress reduction and wellness in ourselves. Planting trees that are native to Northern Virginia provides food and shelter for local birds, pollinators and animals that depend on native plants to survive. Native trees are also particularly well suited to the soil and environmental conditions and tend to require less care once established.
