AgLanta Eats Festival
Thank you to all who attended and participated in Aglanta Eats 2023! From providing a platform for chefs and farmers to shine their brightest to raising funds to support an important program in our city to continuing conversations around food access, waste diversion and more, it couldn’t have happened without your support. See you next year!
Volunteer Opportunities
The Garden and Food Well Alliance know that the best way to experience urban agriculture in our city is to volunteer at a nearby garden! Give back, get your hands dirty and engage with some beautiful, natural and often overlooked places in Atlanta. Typical volunteer tasks include weeding, mulching, turning compost, garden beautification, invasive plant removal and planting/harvesting as needed at local community gardens across the city.

Volunteer groups operate year-round (on various days) from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m.

Garden workdays are appropriate for groups of 8 – 25 volunteers, ages 8+.

Bring sturdy, close-toed shoes, clothes you don’t mind getting dirty and a reusable water bottle. Sunscreen and bug spray are also recommended.
