Thrive Regional Partnership and Homegrown National Park have partnered to launch "Thriving Gardens," a regional plant guide designed to inspire residents, businesses, and municipalities in the tri-state greater Chattanooga region to restore native plants to the landscapes where we live, work, and play.
Inspired by Doug Tallamy's "Nature's Best Hope," this initiative is in its early phases, but invites people across states and sectors to consider the transformative power they have to restore nature to our everyday environments.
Following the program, please join us for socializing at Crust Pizza, 103 Signal Mtn Rd.
