River Hero Homes Appreciation Event at Sneed’s Nursery

Sneed’s Nursery has supported the James River Association’s River Hero Homes program since the very beginning by providing members with discounts on plant purchases. To celebrate the 50th Anniversary of both the James River Association and Sneed’s Nursery, our longtime partnership, and our growing community of conservationists and stewards involved in the River Hero Homes program, please join us at the nursery on Saturday, September 26, 2026 for a morning of workshops intended to empower residents of the James River watershed to take river-friendly conservation and stewardship actions at home. Information will also be available for those interested in learning more about the James River Association’s River Hero Homes program.
