GPPA Mission Statement

The purpose of the Georgia Perennial Plant Association is to increase awareness and knowledge of the many fine perennial plants that can enhance our gardens. To this end, GPPA sponsors monthly speaker meetings 11 months of the year, as well as a Spring symposium. The quarterly journal Perennial Notes is widely respected as a source of information about perennials, their care and maintenance. Members include new gardeners as well as professionals. It is this interaction and diversity that enriches the experience of joining GPPA. Every member has something to learn and something to teach.
