Athens-East Piedmont Chapter Meeting and Swap
The Wednesday, June 12 meeting will be held at Sandy Creek Nature Center from 6:00 PM until 7:30 PM. The meeting will be a forum to discuss upcoming plans for our Chapter as we process the success (we hope!) of our first plant sale.
In addition, we will hold a Gardening Swap for all who have equipment, books, etc., to share with others. Native seeds will also be welcome.

Athens-East Piedmont Chapter Plant Sale
May 4, 2024 – Saturday – 10:00 am – 2:00 pm at Sunrise Nursery – Our First Chapter Native Plant Sale!
Choose from a wide selection of native perennials, grasses, ferns, shrubs, and trees grown locally by Chapter members or by regional native plant nurseries. Many of these plants are not commonly available commercially. Plants offered will largely be straight species and have all been grown without neonicotinoids. Proceeds of the sale will be used to support local conservation and restoration projects, provide educational programming, and promote the use of native plants to increase biodiversity and support native pollinators and wildlife. A plant list will be posted online in advance of the sale. GNPS members will receive a 10% discount.
**For all of our plant/seed swaps, please leave your plants in your car. All plant swaps are held outside after the Chapter meeting concludes.
