Virginia is for Plant Lovers

Over the past seven years, our goal at PlantPOP has been to create short films that showcase the connection between people and plants. We’ve had the opportunity to explore the horticultural journeys of folks across the States - and even overseas! 

But, however far we travel, we keep coming back to Virginia plants. Whether it be at the Norfolk Botanical Gardens or private properties out in Virginia Beach, the state still has so much to offer us.

“It’s amazing the things that will grow and thrive here. And you won’t know until you try them.”

As our films begin to expand, we wanted to take the time to look back on some of the stories that helped get us started. Join us as we revisit the roots of PlantPOP, traveling across the state to prove that Virginia is for Plant Lovers.
