...Clarke County Schools Garden Workshop Day
Several middle and high school students from Clarke County Schools came out to ACCA for a garden workshop. The day began when the students arrived by bus to ACCA's campus. We walked back behind the Adult Day Health facility to our beautiful community garden where the students began a conversation with several Senior Center participants about gardening, farming and what food is like now and what it was like when they were growing up.

It's summertime and the vegetables are growing at ACCA. Thanks to help from UGA and Master Gardeners, ACCA began a beautiful community garden. Students from Athens-Clarke County middle and high schools came together with ACCA Senior Center participants to have a discussion about food and gardening. The students brought jam as presents and learned how life was growing up on a farm. Mary Thrasher talks about her life as a young girl growing up on a farm.
