I am a retired high school biology teacher who has been involved with local chapters of state Native Plant Societies (FL and GA) since 2011. When we moved here 4 years ago my husband and I started the North Georgia Mountains chapter of the Georgia Native Plant Society, with goals including expanding people's understanding of the importance of promoting native plants and including them in garden installations.
