Historic Westside Gardens Atlanta Inc
Overview
Mission
Historic Westside Gardens Atlanta mission is to advance the wellness of the Westside through Home Food Gardens, Wellness Education, Health Advocacy, Community Building, and Economic Empowerment.
What it reported doing in 2024
Historic Westside Gardens Atlanta continues its initiative to provide gardening spaces and support community gardens with materials needed to enhance growth, which in returns provides nutritious produce to individuals and families. Our agricultural coaches teach classes, cultivate the Elm Street Urban Farm, and harvest produce for sale and distribution to community residents. Additionally, this year HWG implemented the Westside Compost Program as an environmental initiative for collecting food scraps from residents and local businesses to create compost, which we use to add nutrients back into the soil used for gardening.
