The Wildflower Program began in 1974 when Mrs. Virginia Hand Callaway, then chair of the Birds and Wildflowers Committee of The Garden Club of Georgia, Inc., spearheaded the movement to plant and protect wildflowers on the roadsides. Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter and several Garden Club of Georgia members presented their ideas to Georgia DOT Commissioner Downing Musgrove, who enthusiastically endorsed the program.

Wildflowers should be planted in well-drained soil and in a location that is free from vegetation and receives lots of sunlight.
Most perennial wildflower seeds can be planted between October and December. Cosmos mix and other warm season annuals should be planted mid-April to mid-May. The cosmos mix can also be planted between July and mid-September for fall flowers.
