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.
