The Unity Garden is the Chattahoochee Nature Center’s quarter-acre outdoor classroom and urban farm and is in operation year round.
The Chattahoochee Nature Center donated 340 pounds of fresh produce to North Fulton Community Charities’ food pantry.
The newest crop of produce from the nature center’s Unity Garden — lettuces, kale, turnips — was dropped off April 3 at the food pantry of North Fulton Community Charities.

The Chattahoochee Nature Center is conducting a capital campaign that is to be one of many gauges of the region’s philanthropic capacity as the economy responds to the pandemic of the coronavirus.
