Nanna Anna's Garden

Nanna Anna's Garden is the first free produce garden cultivated and managed by Feeding Neighbors. In spring of 2015, this garden will grow organic produce and make it available to the community for free, with a portion donated to local food banks and shelters.

Nanna Anna's garden is located in the urban neighborhood of Grove Park, in northwest Atlanta, Georgia. This garden will improve the quality of life for families and the community. Nanna Anna's Garden will transform an unused area of a lot to a productive community garden. Nanna Anna's Garden is already bringing neighbors together. It is creating an anticipation and excitement of the possibilities throughout the neighborhood. This garden will create opportunities for education, conserving resources, providing therapy, exercise and recreation, creating an urban eco-system, local jobs and micro-business opportunities. Beneficiaries do not pay fees, dues, or face extensive qualifications to receive food from Nanna Anna's Garden.We will only ask that they fill out a short registration form before receiving their first distribution.

Feeding Neighbors is building Nanna Anna's Garden from nothing. We are doing it with almost no money, without a budget and without grant funding. We will operate with the little funds we have and use salvage and donated materials for everything else.

If you would like to help Feeding Neighbors and Nanna Anna's Garden multiply our capacity, we thankfully accept donations of materials, cash and your time.
