Every one of us has a seed story. For some of us it is elementary school where we learned about germination by growing bean seeds in dixie cups. Many gardeners however have a much deeper, personal connection to seeds by growing and saving seeds that were shared with them by a parent, grandparent or close friend. To them that bean or okra is much more than a plant or ingredient in a delicious summer meal but a connection to the legacy of that plant. Come celebrate National S...eed Swap Day with us at the 5th Avenue Community Garden on Saturday, January 30th at 10am. Dougherty County Extension Service will offer a class on Seed Saving. Bring your seeds for swapping. #seedsaving #seedswap #communitygarden #communityworkshop #historyoffood

We are super excited to share this introduction video about Flint River Fresh. Please take a moment to watch and share with your love ones as we continue the work of making fresh food readily available in our communities.
