I’ll help in April next year. I’m a previous member waiting to renew in fall so I can get a full year. I’ve been to Georgia on a trip to save endangered species and loved the people I met. I’m currently looking for advice on how to convert my Bahia grass yard to wildflowers. Plenty of info on the net but too general. I want the best outcome possible and need some expert advice before I proceed.I started planting native species a couple years ago and love it and want more but its expensive going to nurseries. I’m self employed doing landscaping, repair. Any help would be appreciated. Anything in the fall? Thanks. Ken T. 803 960 0237.
