Keep Rome-Floyd Beautiful proudly hosts an annual family gardening event designed to bring families together through hands-on learning, community connection, and environmental stewardship. This interactive event teaches proper gardening practices while helping families gain confidence in growing their own food and becoming more self-sufficient.
Children and families participate in live planting demonstrations, educational activities, crafts, and take-home gardening experiences that make learning fun and accessible for all ages. Through the support of community partners, volunteers, and local organizations, families also enjoy free resources, giveaways, and opportunities to connect with valuable community services.
At the heart of this event is a commitment to addressing food insecurity within our community by empowering families with practical skills, knowledge, and encouragement. Our goal is to continue growing this event each year to better meet the needs of Rome and Floyd County while cultivating community pride, confidence, and healthier lifestyles.
To help make this event a success, we are seeking donations of:
- Youth gardening gloves
- Adult gardening gloves
- Gardening supplies (small shovels, planting pots, seeds, watering cans, etc.)
- Craft supplies (non-toxic paint, paint brushes, markers, crayons, glue, small terracotta pots, etc.)
Together, we can plant seeds of knowledge, confidence, and community growth for generations to come.
