The Secret Life of Native Trees and Shrubs
The West Georgia Chapter June meeting features a presentation by Charlane Hemphill, Fayette County Master
Gardener Extension Volunteer and Georgia Master Naturalist. Charlane will discuss native plants’ role as hosts
for moths and butterflies. She’ll also review the variety of native trees and shrubs for our area and explain the
connections between wildlife, native plants, and a thriving ecosystem.
