Hello from Ruther Glen,VA

I just wanted to say hi to everyone. I'm so glad I found this website. I can see there is a wealth of knowledge here and I can't wait to explore and learn from all of you. I'm a novice gardener and my main interest is attracting butterflies and hummingbirds. I posted a thread in the plant id forum if anyone wants to check it out and can help me figure out what it is I would much appreciate it.

Good afternoon, I think if you dig into the forums you will find that one of them is dedicated to attracting wildlife. - Hang on - I'll try to find you a link:

Hi welcome so nice to have you..

Welcome...you'll enjoy DG..wealth of information and some of the nicest people you'll ever get to meet...

Thank you all for your kind words. I'm really loving this website. The only problem is there is soo much to read about and only so much time!

Get a broad-band account for the internet ie cable etc., then you do not have to wait so long for a page to load. This is a great site, and in my current "medicated" state I do not know what I would do without it and everyone here (including you).

Welcome, sandykey! Yep, beware, Dave's Garden can be habit-forming--but what a fun habit to have!

a belated welcome from the mid hudson valley in upstate new york.

Welcome.....I thought I knew all about Virginia...but Ruther Glen escapes me....where is it near?

Here is a link to the Round ups....try to make one or more to meet nice people from DG. Jo

Hmm, wonder if there are a lot of people by the name "Ruther" there?? My family name is very similar.

Welcome to Daves

Hi everyone! And to Jo- Ruther Glen is about 30 minutes or so north of Richmond. It's very small, not much here except truck stops and farms. I moved to Virginia from the Florida Keys 3 years ago, so honestly, I don't know that much about Virginia. I still have a lot to learn!

Welcome to DG Sandy :) Make sure you visit the Mid Atlantic forum! http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/f/region_mida/all/ I'll be posting some information soon about plant sales this fall and one of them is close to you at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden in Richmond!
