Seeds of Hope Community Garden at Ford Elementary School in Acworth, Georgia

Welcome to the Seeds of Hope Community Garden located at Ford Elementary School in Acworth, Georgia. Established in 2010, our Garden is a place where students, their families, and members of our community work together to grow vegetables, learn about healthy living, and give back to families in need.

This is not just a plot of land for growing
flowers and vegetables, it is a place for growing people.

Growing Girls

We are so fortunate to have such a dedicated group of girl scouts and their families who regularly tend to our gardens. Led by Liz Yeager and Patricia Slade, these 12 girls and their families volunteer on a weekly basis to harvest mature vegetables to donate to MUST Ministries. During the harvest process, they also assist with garden clean-up and watering.   So far, we have donated close to 200 lbs. of fresh vegetables to families and individuals who are in desperate need.
