For the first time in roughly a decade, the Georgia Native Plant Society 
is canceling its annual April plant sale at Piedmont Park because of the 
drought.

The news was recently announced to the society's 1,500 members, said 
Marcia Winchester, vice president of the 13-year-old nonprofit 
organization. The decision came after months of monitoring the drought's 
effect on local growers, as well as the organization's own defunct plant 
rescue efforts.
