We will relocate plants to L.P. Grant Park where they can live long and relatively undisturbed lives. Pre-registration is required due to a limited number of avaiable slots.

Keep an eye on the dog. The Mother Mulchers will be loose in the park, mulching everything in sight. We will mulch around trees, mulch planting beds, mulch severely compacted/heavy use areas, mulch in our sleep! Why mulch? Mulching helps control weeds (no toxic herbicides needed), retain soil moisture and moderate soil temperatures (protecting trees from being damaged by drought), provide nutrients and aesthetics, and protect tree trunks from weed eater/lawn mower encounters. We will also install native plants rescued on Friday (4/17), work on removing invasive plant species and more. Pre-registration is strongly recommended to allow us to plan for tools and equipment. We start at 9:00 a.m. Meet on the traffic circle adjacent to the Atlanta Cyclorama. Register at: http://planetgreen.discovery.com/work-connect/green-apple.html more information call 404-521-0938
