Connie Cottingham: Course on native plants worth the commitment
Athens Banner-Herald
Published Tuesday, January 26, 2010

Earlier this month, I was among a couple dozen people to receive a 
certificate in native plants during the Native Plant Symposium at the 
State Botanical Garden of Georgia. It's a program requiring 80 hours of 
commitment to classes, field trips and volunteer projects. The first 
classes in late 2007 not only filled up, but had waiting lists of 15 to 20 
people wanting to attend. That first rush is over, and the State Botanical 
Garden of Georgia, a co-sponsor with the Georgia Plant Conservation 
Alliance, is offering twice the number of classes this year, including 
several on Saturdays.

See the link above for the full article text about some of the work of the 
Georgia Plant Conservation Alliance.
