The Intown Atlanta Chapter is again hosting a native plant swap. You will be able to swap up to 10 plants. If you have extra, please bring more to share with others just starting out. If you don’t have plants to share yet, come anyway – we will have extra so nobody will leave empty-handed!
How to get ready for the plant swap:
- Pick your favorite Georgia native plant(s) and begin digging and dividing them as soon as possible to give them time to recover and acclimate. For more information on digging and dividing, refer to this video. Be careful when digging not to mix in any non-natives!
- Use potting soil (peat-free is best!) or soil conditioner to pot each plant into individual containers.
- Label each plant with the botanical name and its ideal growing conditions. Any additional information is appreciated!
- Keep transplanted plants in a shady spot and water as needed.
Only plants native to Georgia will be accepted for the swap. To find more information on native range of your plants, visit BoNAP, USDA Plants Database, or Flora of the Southeastern US.
Plants can be dropped off the day of the swap at the corner of Burgess St. and Monument Ave. before parking. Street parking is available along Burgess St., Memorial Terrace, and East Side Ave.
