About the Unity Garden
Harvest on the Hooch is a fundraiser for the Chattahoochee Nature Center’s Unity Garden, which supplies more than five tons of fresh produce annually to North Fulton Community Charities (NFCC) food pantry.
Additionally, the Unity Garden is a learning facility. It is utilized for Camp Kingfisher’s GROW camp where kids plant, harvest, weed, seed and deliver produce to NFCC food pantry while getting to taste just how
delicious veggies can be! These campers further enjoy this produce when it is prepared by a local restaurant. The benefits of the garden to GROW campers has been studied by the UGA Social Agriculture Department.
