Her work with native plants began in 2001 when she worked with the Southeastern Climber’s Coalition (SCC) to preserve acreage of the Boat Rock Ridgeline in Southwest Fulton County, GA. She participated in an effort to rescue many plants in the area that were going to be destroyed by development. Since then, she has continued to propagate local native piedmont plants and has used every opportunity available to learn more

During this effort it became apparent that information about native plants and plant communities was not well developed, and there were few landscape professionals who were aware of the benefits of using native plants. Even if they did, few species were available. As a result, she incorporated EcoAddendum, as a Georgia non profit business, and assembled the team to create a way to propagate and return Georgia’s native plants to the Georgia Piedmont.
