Welcome, Community Gardeners!
The Community Garden Resource Center aims to help gardens thrive with support through the annual grants, compost deliveries, workshops and trainings, volunteer support, and more.
Community Garden Grant
We’ve closed applications for the 2025 grant cycle. Grant decisions will be made in January. Stay tuned for next year’s grant application or apply for our new Labor Support Funding resource.
Compost Delivery
The 2025 Compost Delivery Request period is now closed! Community gardens can request up to 2 cubic yards of compost between. Requests will open up in 2026, so stay tuned for more information.
Volunteer Support
Need help with your next community garden project? Food Well can coordinate a volunteer group to help with tasks such as weeding, mulching, garden beautification, planting, and harvesting.

Plant. Eat. Repeat. Workshop Series
Food Well Alliance partners with the Atlanta Botanical Garden through Plant. Eat. Repeat. workshops. In 2025, we're diving into all things irrigation and water conservation. Our summer series on mulching and drip irrigation is here! Join us at a community garden near you to learn about the pros and cons of different mulch subtrates, tips for effective mulching, and how to use and maintain a drip irrigation system.

Plant A Row For The Hungry

Plant A Row started in Anchorage, Alaska, when garden columnist Jeff Lowenfels asked readers to plant an extra row of vegetables to donate to the local soup kitchen. Gardeners took up the challenge, and garden-fresh vegetables piled into the kitchen. The program went national in 1995, as gardeners across the country promoted planting extra crops for donation. Since then, gardeners have donated more than 2 million pounds of produce to food banks, soup kitchens, and related charities across the U.S. as part of the program.
In Georgia, Plant A Row began in 1997. In the first year, 600 pounds of fresh produce were donated. Today, we average around 70,000 pounds per year!
