March with Native Plants

​Rooted in Atlanta: Native Plant Sale & Pawpaw Panel

​Celebrate the beginning of spring with Atlanta Sustainability Club’s native plant sale and community gardening event at CreateATL.

​Shop native plants, trees and garden resources from vendors and organizations including the Georgia Native Plant Society, GreenBox Homes, Trees Atlanta and more. Whether you’re building a pollinator garden, replacing invasive plants, adding shade or simply trying to grow something that belongs in Georgia, participating experts can help you select the right plants for your space.

​The event will also feature a special panel devoted to the pawpaw—a remarkable native tree that produces the largest edible fruit indigenous to North America.

​Panelists will explore:

• ​How to grow and care for pawpaw trees

• ​Pollination and why multiple trees are usually needed

• ​The pawpaw’s role in native ecosystems

• ​Harvesting and using the fruit

• ​Where pawpaws can thrive around metro Atlanta

• ​How this once-common fruit can become part of our region’s future

​Come shop, learn and connect with the people helping Atlanta grow a healthier and more biodiverse urban landscape.
