Ecoaddendum’s model for a Georgia native plant garden located at Hurt Park has been thriving throughout this year’s seasons. Its mid summer now and we’ve gone through a selection of very charming blooms. The ever so vibrant Black-eyed-susan, Rudbeckia fulgida, has been the garden’s main attraction for passer byers this time of year. There is more than meets the eye when it comes to this drought tolerant species. This plant serves as a nutritious meal for the birds and bees and shelters little critters hiding from intimidating predators.
