ATLANTA: Spring Native Plant Swap

Hosted by the Intown Atlanta Chapter of the Georgia Native Plant Society, Walker Park, 200 Memorial Terrace SE, Atlanta, GA 30316. Please bring 5–10 native plants to swap. Or if you have more to share, bring them for people just starting out with native gardening! How to get ready for the plant swap (1) Pick your favorite Georgia native plant(s) and begin digging and dividing them as soon as possible to give them time to recover and acclimate. For more information on digging and dividing, refer to this video. Be careful when digging not to mix in any non-natives! (2) Use potting soil (peat-free is best!) or soil conditioner to pot each plant into individual containers. (3) Label each plant with the botanical name and its ideal growing conditions. Any additional information is appreciated! (4) Keep transplanted plants in a shady spot and water as needed. Plants can be dropped off the day of the swap at the corner of Burgess St. and Monument Ave. before parking. Street parking is available along Burgess St., Memorial Terrace, and East Side Ave.
