MLK Event Atlanta

West End Community Gardens is instrumental in the Atlanta urban farm Network - not only do they provide training for upcoming farmers, they also provide a space where veterans come out to use their location as a therapy program and youth building programs. This will be a great opportunity for the Atlanta Platoon to re-establish a network and build footprint in the urban farm community, and this is a site where we can continually monitor the development of the programs we support. We plan to plant now and harvest on Earth Day - it will be a wonderful adventure! (In the state of Georgia, it is better to plant and build when it’s cool and cold outside. We don’t start gathering until the weather gets warmer.)
