Clairmont Heights Civic Association

On Wednesday about ten volunteers under the leadership of local resident and parks bond/greenspace manager Dave Butler managed to plant all the native azaleas, ferns, oak leaf hydrangeas, wild ginger (heartleaf), black cohosh, woodland poppy, creeping rockfoil, et al that Dave could wrangle for us from the county. The location is on the upslope side of the South Peachtree Creek Trail boardwalk just beyond the steel bridge. We hope to install signs to identify the area and the plants. We also hope to add more plants next fall and spring. Compare the native plant garden to the adjacent area where invasive plants, esp. mahonia aka Oregon grape, have crowded out the native flora.
