Upcoming GPPA Speaker Meetings
Tuesday, May 21, 2013 at 7:30 p.m.
McElreath Hall - Atlanta History Center

Dottie Myers
"The Barbara Allen Memorial Lecture"

Dottie Myers, an Atlanta area landscape architect, shared the love of horticultural design with her friend Barbara Allen. Her inclusion of perennials in private gardens throughout the South is the "icing on the cake".

(The Barbara Allen Memorial Lecture, in May of each year, is supported by contributions from our members.)


Tuesday, June 18, 2013 at 7:30 p.m.
McElreath Hall - Atlanta History Center

Arty Schronce
"Downton Abbey Dreams & Cabbagetown Reality"

How does the gardener who wants to grow almost everything deal with having limited space and budget? Meet Arty Schronce, of the Georgia Department of Agriculture – collector, plant breeder, experimenter, nature lover – who needs a vast English estate but has to make do with trying to shoehorn one more plant into his small Cabbagetown garden.


During daylight saving time, members often bring plants to sell/swap in the parking lot (Please remember that this is something members do on their own, and GPPA doesn’t guarantee that there will be members with plants at every meeting) Members also pass on gardening magazines and catalogs to others in an open swap, and light refreshments are offered beginning at 6:30 PM. Meetings are free and open to the public.
