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.

Georgia Plant Conservation Alliance.
