The garden at Marietta Middle School now bursts with sage, lemon balm, peppers and other herbs, but the bright space in the building’s center was not always this way.
Its impressive growth is due in part to Compost Connectors, a partnership between Food Well Alliance and five metro Atlanta public school systems.
Food Well Alliance: We are connecting organizations that are working to make metro Atlanta's local food system resilient, including production, processing, distribution, consumption and recovery.
The creation of Food Well Alliance was made possible through funding from the founding benefactor, the James M. Cox Foundation, and through the vision of Jim Kennedy, chair of Cox Enterprises, and Bill Bolling, founder of the Atlanta Community Food Bank. Together, they saw an opportunity to build healthier communities across metro Atlanta by supporting and connecting members of our local food movement. Today, we support more than 300 community gardens, urban farms and orchards in the Atlanta region.
