SUMMARY:Silver Certified Native Habitat Visit - Dunwoody
DESCRIPTION:Join the North Metro Atlanta Chapter for a guided tour of a Silver-certified residential property just north of the perimeter in Dunwoody. \nThis member began with a typical suburban lot in an HOA community\, where the previous owner had planted numerous non-native species. With time\, patience\, and a thoughtful love of native plants\, the landscape is being gradually transformed into a thriving habitat—featuring an ever-shrinking lawn\, 15 canopy tree species\, a rich mix of understory trees and shrubs\, and a diverse array of sedges\, ferns\, vines\, and forbs. \nIf you’re looking for inspiration on incorporating more keystone trees into your own space\, this Silver-certified native habitat is well worth a visit! \n\nIMPORTANT: Event is first-come\, first-served and limited to 12 GNPS members only.\nThe address of this private location will be disclosed upon registration.\nThis is a non-refundable event that will be held rain or shine\n\nClick here to register for this inspiring tour
