Fall break was a little spicy for some of Historic South Atlanta’s youngest residents!

🌶️ Our young neighbors rolled up their sleeves for a fun-filled farm day at @graperootsinc Farm with our friend Farmer Mak! From taste-testing and harvesting fresh tomatoes and peppers to building garden beds and creating sage incense bundles to take home, the kids got a hands-on lesson in growing, harvesting, and creating! But the best part? The kids were in charge! Instead of showing them exactly how to build the garden beds, Farmer Mak handed over the materials and challenged them to figure out the best approach. He encouraged questions, shared the why behind seasonal harvesting, and gave our young neighbors the freedom to lead, explore, and learn by doing. That's what we love about this partnership! It's about more than gardening. It's about nurturing curiosity, building confidence, and giving young people space to discover what they're capable of. A huge thank you to Farmer Mak and Tasha for helping us plant seeds of leadership that will grow well beyond the garden! #FCSAtlanta #FCS #SoutheastAtlanta #HistoricSouthAtlanta #ThomasvilleHeights
