With autumn upon us, a crew of hardy Master Gardeners from Pickens County and Friends of Amicalola Falls State Park gathered recently to prepare the landscape surrounding the Visitors' Center for winter. Perennial beds were trimmed, plants were mulched and fertilized, weeds were pulled and, in spite of a light mist, a fine time was had by all participants.

In addition to the above-mentioned chores, the replacement of exotic with native plants continued; liriope and non-native azaleas were removed to make room for native azaleas, rhododendrons and inkberries. Purchase of the new material was made possible through a grant received from the Georgia Master Gardeners Association .
