Our chapter has been actively supporting efforts to encourage the planting of natives in public places. We have completed two native garden installations and are planning for a third location later this year. We’re very excited to share pictures of our current projects.
Mineral Bluff Depot – Planted beds are identified with both common and scientific names. Weekly maintenance by chapter members, Teryn and Larry Romaine give visitors at the Ride the Rails public events educational exposure to using native plants in landscapes.

Meeks Park – Our beds were planted in Mid-May and are located down the main road into the large parking lot. Our beds are to either side of the opening to park. We are also being asked to plant an island near the Union County Parks and Recreation Building.
