The Browns Mill Community Garden Team is a member of the AgLanta Grows-A-Lot program. We are part of the Urban Food Forest at Browns Mill, Atlanta's first Community Urban Food Forest.  The Urban Food Forest at Browns Mill is also a new model for a City of Atlanta park. The Community Garden is managed by the garden members.  We plant a variety of produce which is distributed among garden members first.  As we are located in an area identified as a food desert, we are proud to say that all excess produce is distributed among other community members and organizations.  Thank you for volunteering to work with our team to cultivate a more resilient, equitable and accessible food system for ONE Atlanta. 

WHAT: Volunteers will help with building the soil, weeding, planting, watering, and site beautification projects.

COVID + Garden Safety:  Please a wear a mask & bring work gloves. (We have tools you can borrow if you bring your own gloves. You are welcome to bring your own tools too). Please wear a hat, and closed toe shoes and BRING WATER IN A BOTTLE.  Please follow CDC recommended guidelines. 

Weather policy:  If you do not wish to work in bad weather, we respect your wish!  If there is  inclimate weather, our leadership team will make the decision as to whether will, or not, work will  take place at the Community Garden that day.  In case of inclimate weather, a cancellation email will be sent to volunteers that have signed up for that day by 8:00am.
