Our presenter for February 15 monthly Zoom meeting was Fred Conrad who is the Senior Manager of Community Gardens for the Food Well Alliance in Atlanta.

Fred’s presentation was an overview and tour of the Community Garden movement in metropolitan Atlanta and about how many community gardens are organized, how they function and the many ways they serve neighborhoods.  It is the story of food bringing people together. 

Our November meeting is usually a holiday celebration and a chance to visit and talk with other members. Covid-19 changed all that. February was our last in-person meeting and, as many of us are seniors, we were mandated to stay at home until June. But the pandemic didn’t stop us gardening and doing. We masked up, keep social distancing and discovered Zoom meetings.

Following tradition, our historian Freda Steward put together a wonderful presentation of our year. Enjoy!

Bestselling author and horticulturist, Brie Arthur was our speaker for our October Zoom meeting.   What a delightful presentation full of great information. Her enthusiasm for new ideas and practices with out of the box gardening advice was contagious! We shared her expertise as an advocate for consumer horticulture and home gardening. Some members benefited from forager wheat seed gifts as well as her latest book which were well received.
