S.E.E.D Chattanooga
Sustainable Education & Edible Development
November in the Gardens
This November, we’re caring for what’s already growing at Hardy Elementary and Jessie Igou Community Center. Our focus is on tending the beds, harvesting as conditions allow, and preparing for the year ahead.
Thank you for helping S.E.E.D Chattanooga grow.
