Cabbagetown Community Garden

The Cabbagetown Community Garden was opened to the public in the summer of 2010 and currently houses 32 raised garden beds and two thriving beehives. The creation of the garden and installation of hives was a combined effort of the Cabbagetown community, the City of Atlanta, Park Pride and later, The Little Bee Project. The garden is the first community garden of its kind in Atlanta. The garden's mission is to leverage its unique urban location to engage the community and educate gardeners of all ages and backgrounds by empowering them to plant, grow and harvest healthy organic food.

Chattahoochee Queen

Chattahoochee Queen is a specialty cut flower business located in Atlanta, Georgia. The founder, Evan Neal, began farming flowers alongside Brent Hall of Freewheel Farm in 2014 after having spent time farming in Pescadero, California - it was in California that he became acquainted with unfamiliar and fascinating cut flower varieties being grown exclusively for local markets. Moving back to his home state of Georgia in 2012, he started growing flowers in his own backyard, and wherever else he could squeeze a few feet of bedspace in...and has been growing ever since! He currently farms on less than a quarter of an acre, but by focusing on growing intensively and replenishing the soil with top-quality compost, he can grow a whole lot of flowers! They currently sell at Grant Park Farmers Market, to local restaurants, bakeries, and florists, and supply flowers for special events.
