The State Botanical Garden of Georgia at the University of Georgia is helping gardeners by selecting four Georgia Pollinator Plants of the Year. The program, a collaboration between the State Botanical Garden, UGA Extension and green industry partners, began in 2020. The program annually promotes four top-performing landscape plants that support pollinators. Plants are chosen for the following categories: spring bloomer, summer bloomer, fall bloomer and Georgia native. The pollinator plant of the year program was designed to encourage the use of high-impact plants that support pollinators in private and commercial gardens. It is funded in part by the Vaughn-Jordan Foundation. "Our audience has been very receptive to the program," said Heather Alley, the garden's conservation horticulturist. "These plants always sell beautifully at our plant sales. One of our partner growers has enjoyed highlighting these plants, and their customers are excited about them." The 2023 plants in the four categories of the program are: Spring bloomer Blue wild indigo (Baptisia australis). Blue wild indigo is a 4-foot-tall perennial wildflower in the pea family. In spring, this plant has tall spikes of eye-catching cobalt blue flowers. Conservation value: Supports many native bees and other pollinators. Summer bloomer Wild bergamot (Monarda fistulosa). Wild bergamot is a perennial in the mint family that grows 4 to 5 feet tall, with long-lasting white, lavender or magenta summer blooms that attract many different pollinators. Conservation value: Supports many native bees, hummingbirds and butterflies. Fall bloomer Aromatic aster (Symphyotrichum oblongifolium). Aromatic aster is a perennial wildflower in The UGA State Botanical Garden in Athens announced Georgia's pollinators of 2023 to encourage planting these plants in private and commercial gardens to attract pollinating insects and animals throughout the year. Clockwise from top left: Blue Wild Indigo, Wild Bergamot, Aromatic Aster and Joe Pye Weed. (UGA Botanical Garden) the sunflower family that grows 3 to 4 feet tall with purple flowers in the fall. Conservation value: Supports many native bees, butterflies, hover flies and wasps. Georgia native Coastal plain Joe Pye weed (Eutrochium dubium). Coastal plain Joe Pye weed is a perennial wildflower in the sunflower family that grows 3 to 5 feet tall with profuse but tiny mauve flowers that bloom from July through September. Conservation value: Supports bumble bees, small bees, hummingbirds and butterflies. Alley said all the plants selected this year complement each other with cool, blue undertones. They are also easy to maintain. The plants are nominated by gardeners, horticulturists, entomologists, ecologists and green industry professionals throughout Georgia and selected by a committee. The committee announces the plants a year in advance to give growers time to increase the stock of the plants for the public. Becky Griffin is the community and school garden coordinator for UGA Extension and serves on the pollinator plants of the year committee. She is also the coordinator of the Great Southeast Pollinator Census, a citizen science project created by UGA designed for everyone to participate and make a difference in pollinator conservation. Griffin said serving on the committee and talking about the nominated plants is a great way to get pollinator plants to the public. She also helps market the pollinator plants to people who want to start pollinator gardens and encourages those who wish to participate in the pollinator census to plant them in their home gardens. "Planting plants that attract pollinators is a conservation action that we can all do," said Griffin. "Research has shown that if you build the habitat, they will come. Planting pollinator plants directly impacts our pollinators, which are important for our food crops in Georgia." Griffin said you can add the pollinator plants of the year to your space, whether that's a farm, subdivision or apartment complex. Although new plants are selected each year, Alley said the goal is to continue promoting all the pollinator plants of the year selections over time. All the plants can work together for a beautiful collection of pollinator favorites that can be added to yearly. The State Botanical Garden, a unit of UGA Public Service and Outreach, sells the pollinator plants of the year at its spring and fall plant sales and in the garden's gift shop, and works with growers and retailers in Georgia to produce and market the plants.

Bring water to a boil, then lower to simmer and partially cover with a lid. Cook for about 2 to 3 hours or until just fork tender. Georgia Grown in Season Ingredients 1 home-cured or store-bought corned beef brisket (preferably flat cut) One half of a cabbage, cut in 1- to 2-inch wedges Instructions In a large pot, place corned beef brisket and, if store bought, the pickling spice included in the package. Fill pot with enough water Add vegetables to the pot and continue to cook at a simmer until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes. Remove corned beef brisket from the pot and place on a cutting board. Remove any unwanted large portions of fat attached. Slice the meat against the grain. Cabbage Carrots Citrus Collards Kale Lettuce Mushrooms Spinach Strawberries Turnips To serve, place a few slices each of corned beef in shallow bowls. Place some of the vegetables in each bowl with a slotted spoon and ad some of the cooking liquid. Serve as is or with mustard or horseradish as an accompaniment. Serves about six people depending on the size of the brisket. Home-cured corned beef One 4- to 6-lb brisket (preferably flat cut) 1 gallon of water 2 cups Diamond Crystal Kosher salt or 1 cup Morton's Kosher salt 3 Tbsps pickling spice 5 tsps pink salt, also called Prague powder (pickling salt, not Himalayan pink salt) cup light brown sugar 1 small cinnamon stick In a large pot, bring all ingredients to a boil, then immediately remove from heat. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until well chilled. In a container large enough to submerge brisket, place brisket and enough brine to cover completely. Refrigerate 5-6 days or until meat turns pink. Remove from brine just before cooking.

I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state of Georgia promoting our #1 industry, agriculture! When I was young, I read stories about the lumberjack Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox. The pair competed against "modern" equipment and found they couldn't hold up against the chainsaw and a train. It's funny because what replaced Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox was replaced by John the Green Deere and a big blue log truck! I went to see logging firsthand and the equipment I saw was a whole forest of John Deeres: a 643L-II Feller Buncher, a 648L-II Skidder, and a 437D Knuckle Boom Loader. The Feller Buncher replaced the chainsaw a long time ago, making the logging woods a much safer place to work. With a cutting blade of over four feet wide, it sawed down trees, held them together and dropped them into a pile for the skidder to pick up. The skidder grabbed up the felled pines and dragged them along a skid row to the loading ramp with its giant grapple. The 437D loader then picked the trees up, delimbed them and loaded about four tons at a time onto a waiting log truck. A 648L-II Skidder prepares to carry a load of freshly cut trees at a tree farm near Rhine in Dodge County. The skidder will bring the trees to a loader, pictured below, which removes the limbs and loads the trees onto a truck. The operation can handle four tons per load.

"So, there are lots of peer support training that you can do, so people feel more empowered to have those uncomfortable conversations." Attention to mental health in rural areas grew from the University of Georgia's Extension Service and School of Social Work responding to a 2018 study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that showed farming had the third-highest suicide rate of any occupation. Additional research showed that in Georgia, the rate for farmers was about 51 per 100,000, compared with 14.9 per 100,000 for the overall population of workers. UGA Extension Service began to coordinate with local health organizations and faith leaders to create the beginning of a connection between farmers and those people who can help them. County Extension agents also received training to recognize someone dealing with mental stress and direct them to help, such as the Georgia Crisis and Access Line (1- 800-715-4225). The Georgia Department of Agriculture is a long-term supporter of mental health awareness and is a Georgia Agricultural Wellness Alliance partner. In 2021, the GDA received a grant from the USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture to increase outreach throughout the state and promote options for farmer stress. The grant has allowed the GDA to join the Farmer Ranch Stress Assistance Network, State Departments of Agriculture (FRSAN-SDA) project that focuses on a holistic approach to addressing the farming community's stress and mental health challenges, according to Venessa Sims, GDA director of Emergency Management. Sims said the goal is to overcome the stigma of discussing mental health and suicide prevention. She said someone can be in a dark place dealing with a crisis, but reaching out and offering help can bring them light. "The best thing you can do is to ask that question and direct them to resources," Sims said. Sims referred to this approach as Question, Persuade and Refer. "It's a take on CPR, but it's QPR. You want to question them about it, persuade them that their life matters, and refer them to help," Sims said. The GDA has free bookmarks and business card-sized handouts geared toward agriculture, food service, and hospitality sector employees and are available at https://agr. georgia.gov/disaster-relief. Additional agriculture mental health resources can be found at https://agrisafe.org/healthcare/mental-health and https://extension.uga.edu/topic-areas/timely-topics/Rural. html. For our veterans and veteran farmers, the Department of Veterans Affairs established 1-800-MyVA411 (1-800698-2411) in 2020 to help veterans, their family members, caregivers, and survivors understand and access the broad spectrum of VA benefits and services.
