Native Fruit Tree Webinar

Join UGA Fulton County Extension, Food Well Alliance, and Trees Atlanta for a virtual Lunch & Learn that celebrates the power of native fruit and nut trees in Atlanta’s urban landscape. From pawpaws to persimmons, these trees offer more than just delicious, nutrient-dense harvests—they’re key to building resilient, biodiverse, and sustainable urban green spaces.

Whether you're planting in a community garden, backyard, urban farm, food forest, or schoolyard, you'll learn how native edible trees:

🌳 Thrive with less maintenance in Atlanta’s unique climate and soils

🌰 Enhance food security for people and wildlife

💧 Conserve water and improve soil health

🌿 Boost biodiversity and air quality

🍑 Offer unforgettable flavors you won’t find in stores and sometimes even farmer's markets!

Inspired to take action? Plant native edible trees! Check out: 1) Trees Atlanta’s Tree Sale Saturday, October 4th at the Carter Center.
