Need help with your next community garden project? Food Well can coordinate a volunteer group to help with tasks such as weeding, mulching, garden beautification, planting, and harvesting.

Plant. Eat. Repeat. Workshop Series

Food Well Alliance partners with the Atlanta Botanical Garden through Plant. Eat. Repeat. workshops. In 2025, we're diving into all things irrigation and water conservation.

Our summer series on mulching and drip irrigation is here! Join us at a community garden near you to learn about the pros and cons of different mulch subtrates, tips for effective mulching, and how to use and maintain a drip irrigation system.

Plant A Row For The Hungry

Plant A Row started in Anchorage, Alaska, when garden columnist Jeff Lowenfels asked readers to plant an extra row of vegetables to donate to the local soup kitchen. Gardeners took up the challenge, and garden-fresh vegetables piled into the kitchen. The program went national in 1995, as gardeners across the country promoted planting extra crops for donation. Since then, gardeners have donated more than 2 million pounds of produce to food banks, soup kitchens, and related charities across the U.S. as part of the program.

In Georgia, Plant A Row began in 1997. In the first year, 600 pounds of fresh produce were donated. Today, we average around 70,000 pounds per year! Learn more about Plant a Row and how you can get involved.

Request an Orchard Planing

Food Well is dedicated to increasing the sustainability of community gardens and urban farms. We believe community orchards are a powerful way to grow long-term food access, especially in spaces where food production hasn’t yet taken root.

Community Gardens can apply for an orchard planting at no cost. In return, the orchard must directly benefit the surrounding community through food donations, public harvests, or community education. Learn more about eligibility and submit your application here.
