Planting community orchards part of Braves' Season of Giving - MLB
/
Looking to increase access to fresh, healthful food for urban residents, the Braves will plant 20 community orchards in the metro Atlanta area over the next two months.
As part of their Season of Giving, the Braves will begin this initiative on Dec. 2, when All-Star catcher Travis d’Arnaud and his wife, Britney, will be on hand as 100 fruit trees are planted at Hyde Farm in Marietta, about 20 minutes northeast of Truist Park. The event is sponsored by Coors Light; more than 100 Braves employees will assist in the planting process.
"The impact of 100 trees planted in one day cannot be understated,” said Kate Conner, executive director of the Food Well Alliance. “The literal fruits of our labor will be multiplied to nourish Cobb County communities for years to come. We are so thankful this season for our roster of supporters making that happen; from our Atlanta Braves, to the Giving Grove, One Tree Planted and Players for the Planet.”
