Much love to those who filled out last week's survey. We'll use that feedback to serve you better as we head into our second year.
Some of you shared that you wished you could easily refer back to past issues. We've got you covered! Check out the newsletter archive on our site!
Now on to getting out there!

Plants
We’ve been plant-obsessed for a while, so we were excited to hear that Pomona Plants has moved to a brand new home to expand and transform their company. Partnering with recently launched women-owned Hazel Witch Farm, the shop will feature herbs and flowers, along with native plants from TreeLab.
And Pomona isn’t taking over just any old space, but the former home of much-loved Roaring Pines. Pomona will continue the legacy of Roaring Pines' famed food and beverage service, while Roaring Pines’s Drew Dayberry continues to pursue his Dayberry Brooms company.
Enjoy a cozy retail experience and sip on something refreshing all in one. Visit this weekend and bring a new plant friend home!

Cycle for Life
Calling all cyclists! Or, you know, people who like bikes. There's a new opportunity to put your hobby to work for good.
The inaugural Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Cycle for Life takes off from Hardywood West Creek on October 28 to benefit the search for a cure.
This event has a course for all levels of cyclist. For you athletes out there, the 65-mile route through some of good ole Virginia rolling hills should provide a nice challenge. If you prefer a more laid-back cadence, pedal to the metal along either the 15-mile or 22-mile route options.
Cap off the day at the finish-line reception with a Passion For A Cure beer, also benefitting CFF.
