Event Schedule

12:00–1:00 PM  Welcome & Nursery Tour

We’ll kick off the afternoon with a warm welcome and a guided tour of All The Buzz Native Nursery. Explore the nursery, discover native plants, and learn more about creating landscapes that support Georgia’s wildlife and biodiversity.

1:00–3:00 PM  Fall Garden Picnic

Gather with fellow native plant enthusiasts for a casual, buffet-style picnic luncheon featuring seasonal ingredients sourced from local farmers, businesses, bakers, and artisans.

The luncheon will be prepared by local Chef Joshua Miller of Sobremesa, who brings a thoughtful, locally inspired approach to the menu and a passion for showcasing the flavors of our region.

Enjoy live music throughout the afternoon as we gather, eat, and celebrate the fall garden together.

The picnic is designed to be relaxed and informal, with cushions and blankets available for casual seating on the ground.

Guests who are unable to sit on the ground are encouraged to bring their own lawn or camping chair. A limited number of tables and chairs will be available to accommodate guests who need them.
