Charities aim to revitalize Decatur garden for refugees, immigrant growers - AJC

Multiple nonprofits are partnering to help immigrants and refugees in metro Atlanta grow healthy food and stay in touch with their roots.

Love Tito’s and Food Well Alliance are hosting a service project Friday to revitalize Decatur’s Kitchen Garden, an urban garden meant to preserve agricultural heritage. They also launched a matching donation campaign, which aims to raise $10,000 by Friday.

The garden currently offers 36 large community growing plots for international families, most of whom came to the Atlanta area as refugees. Located at 500 S. Columbia Drive in Decatur, the garden is led by Global Growers Network in collaboration with the City of Decatur. The produce grown at the site reflects the diverse background of the growers, according to a news release.
