Step up your garden game and join us at the Chattahoochee Nature Center for the annual Spring Native Plant Sale! Discover over 100 varieties of plants that will help your garden attract butterflies, pollinators, birds, and more. For the gourmet gardener, herb and veggie seedlings are available for that fresh Farm to Table feel.
Horticulturists and local experts will be on-site to help you build a plant community to fit your landscape by selecting a combination of native plants that thrive in the same conditions, including plants for rock gardens, sunny borders, water-wise landscapes, shade, dry shade, and your garden’s wetter and wilder areas. Many of these native plants do well in containers too! Those plants resistant to deer and rabbits will be marked on their information cards.
Why buy native plants? They significantly impact the environment and help sustain a healthy ecosystem while promoting biodiversity. According to CNC’s Horticulture Manager Jacqueline McRae, “Plants native to Georgia, meaning plants that our Georgia birds and wildlife depend upon, belong in our Georgia gardens because they provide sources of food, shelter, and places to rear young at the exact times that the natural world needs these things most.” She adds that “When you grow native plants, even on a small scale in a container garden, you are going to make a positive difference for the nature in your yard. It feels really good to watch pollinators visiting the plants you’re growing in summer or to see a chipmunk gather fallen seeds or nuts in fall.”
