Sarah Carter, "Embracing the New Perennial Movement in the South" - Monday, April 21 at 7:30 pm - St. Dunstan's & Zoom
Sarah Carter and her team at the Atlanta History have created an entrance garden at the Atlanta History Center's Goizueta Garden inspired by the New Perennial Movement. Born out of a desire to create a sustainable urban landscape, this series of unique garden spaces feature sweeping perennial beds and pollinator-attracting plants. Special care has been taken to incorporate and emphasize native plants. Sarah will speak to us about the New Perennial Movement and how it works and can be applied in the South.
