Who administers the wildflower program?
VDOT employs professionals from many different disciplines including agronomy, horticulture and landscape architecture to administer the wildflower program. By sharing information with the organizations such as the Virginia Federation of Garden Clubs, Inc. and the Virginia Native Plant Society, we gain insight on the best species of flowers to include in the program and to perfect our online planting techniques. Wildflower research contracted through the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University helps us overcome difficult planting environments often created by highway construction. The result of devoted professionals, researchers and civic organizations working together is a program that brings spectacular beauty to Virginia roadways for all to enjoy.
