The Problem

The mission of the Acworth Community Garden is to address food insecurity for some of our seniors. Everything we grow is donated. We depend on volunteers to plant, harvest & maintain the garden.No one receives a salary or compensation.The R&S money enables us to have an extra planting season in the early spring - Feb/March. This increases the amount of produce donated to our seniors in need. Before receiving the R&S money we could not afford to do an early spring planting - potatoes, greens, root crops & brassicas. We also provide educational opportunities.

Our Plan

To purchase supplies for early spring planting - compost, potato starts, vegetable seeds, zinnia seeds (prep for summer).
