Add a little native color to your garden – for free!

The Environmental Resources Network and Georgia Wildlife Resources Division have teamed up to help you spruce up your backyard. They are offering free packets of native wildflower seeds that grow plants designed to attract hummingbirds, butterflies and other nectar-loving feeders.

The seed packets grow native plants with drought-tolerant characteristics and provide a reliable food source, including 12 herb and grass species of Georgia. The matured plants will offer a meadow effect, diverse in color, texture and height.

Get your packet by sending a self-addressed lettersize (No. 10) envelope with a first class stamp of postage to: Nectar-feeder Native Wildflower Seed Packet, DNR/WRD Nongame Conservation Section, 116 Rum Creek Dr., Forsyth, GA 31029. One packet per household, please. For more information, visit www.georgiawildlife.com

Go wild with a little bit of your garden,
