Want to keep garden programs growing in Montgomery? Please donate to E.A.T. South today!
tour the farm
Thanks to a mention in the AAA Magazine, we’re welcoming more people to the farm every week. We’ve put together this self-guided tour to give visitors an idea of what they are seeing. What do you think? Have you toured the farm? Email us.
Organize a garden class for your school, church, scout or community group.
Schedule a Garden Workshop for Your Community
E.A.T. South’s garden classes are going on the road. Is your neighborhood association, church, school, or community group interested in gardening? Schedule a class in your community today.
We’re looking for a minimum of ten people and a place to teach. This time of year, we like to teach basic gardening classes. In August, we like to teach classes to help people grow food in the fall and winter. You can find our list of classes and sign up your group on this class sign up form.
Classes are free. Some, like building worm bins, will require a charge for materials.
How do you know how to plant a seed if you don’t have instructions? (Ok, maybe you should first turn the packets right side up!) (Image: two orange envelopes, one with a label with planting instructions, the other just the name of the plant, four seeds lined up two high across the top of the picture. The seeds are sugar snap peas, lettuce, kale, and chard.)
How to plant seeds
Some of the seeds at Seedy Sunday won’t come with instructions. How do you know how to plant something if you don’t have a label?
We’ve listed the resources we use when planting seeds along with some good general seed information in the blog post how do I plant this? Find the link in the button below.
Connect with MidSouth RC&D Council for seeds and garden tools. Links to applications below. (Image: large ziploc bags folded at the top full of seeds of all colors)

Are you growing food to benefit your community? Are you a part of a church, school, neighborhood, or community garden? MidSouth RC&D Council is offering two grants for community-oriented gardens: one for seeds and a reimbursement grant for tools and supplies.
The seed list is included in the application and includes all of our summer and fall favorites - from okra and squash to greens.
Both applications are short. Find them using the buttons below.
