Our meetings are held on the second Saturday of each month from 10 am to 12 pm, generally at the Union County Public Library in Blairsville unless we are having a field trip. We will update this post as more details are available about each meeting/field trip.
At our January 10th meeting, Glen Henderson is our speaker with a presentation on “The Gardens, Which Plants For Which Environments, Sources For Plants”. Hope to see you there!
Towns County Fall Native Plantings
This fall, our chapter made some great progress in native plant installations, which included much appreciated leadership and labor by members and some non-members. Thank you to all who have pitched in! The new installations are at the Towns County Courthouse and at Hamilton Gardens (inside the Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds). We look forward to seeing how the gardens look next spring!
