Plant rescue benefits Mabry Park
To the Rescue!

Thanks to the Georgia Native Plant Society for thinking of Mabry Park during their July 16th plant rescue, which took place less than 1/4 mile from the future site of the park. 

Sheri George led her team of volunteers in donating, to the park, many of the azaleas, ferns, and other native plants discovered in a plot of land that will soon be developed as a subdivision. Thanks to Lee Berg, a Friends of Mabry Park board member, for volunteering to care for the plants until they can be transported to their permanent home in the park.
