Growing Roots

The mission of Growing Roots is to increase food access and community wellness on Tennessee’s South Cumberland Plateau.

This is accomplished through activities and programming for residents of Franklin, Grundy, and Marion counties in Middle Tennessee, including holistic community wellness workshops and classes, small-scale garden programming, direct food distribution, youth gardening support and classes, and garden-based community infrastructure.

Growing Roots is motivated by a justice-oriented approach to land use, food sovereignty on the grassroots level, and collaborative community efforts to improve the quality of life for all who call this mountain home.
