My last quote found the client a bit surprised by the price of plants. March and April are the highest priced plants of the year, mainly because they are new inventory for the busiest planting season of the calendar. You will also find the healthiest stock now, in plentiful supply.
But what about free plants, you ask??? If you are willing to do the work, and like using native species in your landscape, the Georgia Native Plant Society may be for you. Each year they schedule several "Digs" where you get to go on property to find and remove plant material that you can take home.
If this sounds like something for you, here's the link:

Good luck and good digging!

I have taken my education at Chattahoochee Technical College into the yards and gardens of Atlanta. Let me show you how to make the most of your landscape Some are not so sexy, but essential things like solving drainage and erosion problems, pruning to rejuvenate plants, and insect and disease identity.
