We exceeded our goal! Our incredible community raised over $24k for the Garden & Outdoor Learning Expansion. That’s you - donors, parents, grandparents, and alumni parents who believed in this vision. The students are measuring the spaces for the new garden beds and construction is underway right now. Just in time for this spring weather, our students will be planting in new beds, tending seedlings, and getting a better understanding of where food comes from. Thank you for growing this with us. 🌱 #growingfoodgrowschildren by @mauricesmall

The 5 stars and written reviews tell one side of the Tending to the Herbs story. It’s the way the guests are treated. It’s the secret information about soil biology that is shared. It’s the volumes of regional earth information that is revealed. It’s the gifts that they take away after their agricultural experience. Book a hands on tour and experience 5 star joy and enlightenment. #mauricesmall #healthyfoodsystems #visionarygrowingsolutions #tendingtotheherbs #herblove #biochar #growyourown#herbaccess #localfoodsystems #healthylifestyle #pollinators #georgiagrown #biodiversity #biodynamicfarmer #herbpower #brownbotanist #simplefoodsmallfarmz#airbnbexperience #atlantaairbnbexperience by @mauricesmall

Save those seeds y’all. The seeds recall the heat, the cold, the stress and the good times. The seeds are collectors. ...#visionarygrowingsolutions#okra#plantaseed#plantsomeseeds#saveaseed#savesomeseeds#blackbotanist #blackbotany #blackwithplants #plantparenthood #bigplantenergy#seedenergy#blackinthegarden#blackonthefarm#georgewashingtoncarveswag #atlantaurbanag by @mauricesmall

As for my compost, here in Atlanta, zone 8, I do 60/40. 60 brown and 40 green. We compost in bins, tumblers, static and direct bury. I’ve used this method from #clevelandurbanag to #raleighurbanag to #atlantaurbanag Workshops coming soon. ...#healthyfoodsystems #vermicomposting #compost #atlantaurbanag #soilfoodweb #soilcreation #biochar #biodynamic #seeds #seedsaving #growyourown #foodaccess#localfoodsystems #soil #pollinators #soilfoodsystems #soilbiology #visionarygrowingsolutions #soilscience #biodiversity #biodynamicfarmer #healthysoil #communitycompostingsystems #brownbotanist#blackwithseeds#simplefoodsmallfarmz#tendingtotheherbs by @mauricesmall
