EcoAddendum’s mission is to put Georgia’s plants back into Georgia’s landscape through native plant sales and environmental education. By working towards propagating native plants from local ecotypes, we offer plants adapted to Georgia’s conditions to create sustainable greenscapes. Our Birds Butterflies and Bees program cultivates environmental stewardship by creating programming and native plant gardens for individuals, schools and community spaces.
It’s not just about flowers.
Diversity. The diversity that the naturalists wandering the North American continent chronicled in the 18th century no longer surrounds us in our daily lives. To buy a shrub or plant for our yard, most of us go to a “big box” chain or store, and select from row upon row of cloned plants that originated in Asia or South America and are shipped from out of state. The amazing variety of plants described by William Bartram is nowhere to be seen.

Sustainability. Georgia’s native species are adapted to Georgia soils, seasons, and climate. Properly selected and situated native plants thrive in Georgia’s climate, require less maintenance and water, support bird and wildlife populations, and heal the environment.
