Help us end hunger today!

2025- thank you for many incredible opportunities. Floating Tree is bursting with excitement at the many prospects for 2026. We already have 4 projects in the works! Stay tuned💚🍃🥬🪴

We’ve distributed over 150 servings of produce from our garden at the Living Bridge! We are excited to see how much more produce is to come!

Thank you to @coastofmaineorganic for donating 10 bags of soil to our garden build @mackgastoncommunitycenter ! Learn more about this garden at daltonGa.gov (link in bio!)

We did it! We distributed 50 grow bucket gardens and are still going! Thank you @chickfiladalton @chickfilanorthdalton for donating your empty pickle buckets to make this possible! Who wants to guess how quickly we can distribute 50 more!?

Can you believe Floating Tree has built 15 raised beds for the community just in May alone?! Okay, so maybe it wasn’t “just the two of us” that made this impressive feat possible😉

BUT every Floating Tree Garden raised bed is CUSTOM built by the two Floating Tree core team members. 💪🔨🪚

Thank you to all of our partners for helping make 15 community garden beds possible this month!

It doesn’t take much! Just a little dirt, sunshine, & water to grow something amazing!

There is nothing better than gift economy! We were gifted beautiful eggs from our neighbors and were able to gift them some greens from our garden in return!

How do you use your abundance to build community? #communitygarden #garden #gifteconomy

We love our Saturdays gardening with our friends at @orangegrovectr @mghctn !

The tiniest helpers are the sweetest- we love when our lil buddies come out to play in the garden with us!

We love The Avondale Center! We were welcomed by all of our after school program friends who were filled with excitement to plant strawberries & potatoes (yay tater tots!).

There’s nothing better than playing outside and getting your hands dirty on a beautiful day!

Thank you to @chattfoodbank for supplying our strawberry, potato, and flower plants!

Thank you to @lapazchatt for letting us play in their garden this weekend! Floating Tree loves making new friends and getting more gardens out in our community!

Floating Tree has been busy! We want to thank @chickfiladalton for donating 5-gallon buckets and @homedepot in Dalton for donating all of our seeds!

Floating Tree is thrilled to build a garden for The Living Bridge Center fully stocked with grow buckets for clients to take home and grow their own produce!

A special thank you to our volunteers who helped make this garden possible!

Need a good autumn activity? Wreath making can be fun for all ages! With as beautiful as the foliage is in autumn, there’s no need to go to the store. Just take a pair of shears and forage in your yard, the woods, or even garden beds (with permission, of course)! Bonus points if you can find grape vine to make your base from scratch too!

Thank you to our family who came to volunteer with us this weekend!! We are so grateful to @orangegrovectr for welcoming us into their garden so we could help get it ready for autumn. Learn. Empower. Grow. ! #chattanooga #communitygarden #gardening #fallgarden #autumngarden

We had so much fun building raised beds with our friends at the Avondale Community Center! We can’t wait to join them and the @chattfoodbank in a few weeks to fill the beds and get some seeds planted! #communitycenter #communitygarden #chattanooga #avondale #raisedbeds #gardening

Floating Tree has been out in the community this weekend! We spent Friday with our friends at the Chattanooga Food bank getting the Avondale Center ready for our garden install on Monday. Today we joined our friends at the Carver Center to add ornamental gardens to add a welcoming atmosphere to their entrance!
