Don’t forget our Atlanta Area Fall Plant Sale and Educational Festival coming up on Saturday, September 14, at our Stone Mountain Propagation Project (SMPP) in Stone Mountain Park. The sale will include our usual wonderful inventory of SMPP-propagated plants, donations from members and plant rescues, supplemented with purchases from reputable native plant nurseries, including Lazy K Nursery’s famous native azaleas, to round out the selections.
Our Educational Festival will feature a Landscape Advice Tent, headed up by retired landscape architect and GNPS volunteer Jack Weeks, who will help sale customers explore ways to incorporate their native plant purchases into their home gardens. Barbara Dorfman, a founding volunteer at SMPP, will host the Invasive Plant Tent joined by ReForest ATL, a local company specializing in invasive control. Susan Meyers with Monarchs Across Georgia will join us along with Leslie Inman Nelson of Pollinator-Friendly Yards. Blue Heron Nature Preserve will also have a tent to tell folks about their preserve and native plant restoration sites, along with news of Atlanta Audubon Society and The Amphibian Foundation. Helen McGregor with SuperSod will join us to take orders for discounted bags of their Black Garden Soil. Customers on the sale day can also enter a Giveaway Contest to win a free Big Yellow Bag of this wonderful compost!
