Partners For Plants
The Garden Club of America’s Partners For Plants Program
Santa Fe Garden Club members recently volunteered for a Partners for Plants project on the Valles Caldera National Preserve in Jemez Springs, New Mexico. The Preserve needed help removing the highly invasive cheatgrass – Bromus tectorum – before its seeds had matured. It was a memorable and fun effort.
Partners for Plants is a joint restoration program of the Garden Club of America’s Conservation and Horticulture Committees . Its purpose is to facilitate projects between local GCA Clubs and land managers on Federal, State , local and other significant public land.
Projects may include monitoring and protection of rare, endangered and medicinal plants, the propagation and replanting of native plants and the removal of invasive plants.
