About Us
SEED Chattanooga is a nonprofit rooted in Chattanooga and committed to helping communities grow through hands-on gardening education, food access, and practical learning experiences. Through community learning gardens and collaborative programs, we bring individuals, families, schools, and partners together to grow fresh food, build useful skills, and care for the land. Guided by access, opportunity, skill development, community, stewardship, and food integrity, we are creating stronger neighborhoods and brighter futures.
Teaching soil. Growing food. Building futures.
