Exciting news! For those who have been following along as we've shared updates about our Franklin tree - when we arrived at the William Root House this morning we discovered that it is currently in bloom!

Native to the Altamaha River valley in Georgia, Franklin trees have been extinct in the wild since at least the 1840s. American botanist William Bartram first observed the tree growing in Georgia in 1765. The cause of its extinction in the wild is not known. Like all of the Franklin trees known to exist today, the tree growing at the Root House is descended directly from seeds collected by Bartram hundreds of years ago. We appreciate the Master Gardener Volunteers of Cobb County for taking such great care of our tree. These trees have a reputation among gardeners as being difficult to cultivate, especially in urban environments. If you are in the area, it's definitely worth stopping by the museum to see!

Big things are growing at the Cobb County Extension Office!

Our wonderful Cobb County Master Gardeners rolled up their sleeves this week for a different kind of garden prep, painting vibrant, colorful stepping stones for The Living Classroom Garden!

This new space is being designed as an educational demonstration garden, where community members of all ages can come to learn about sustainable gardening, native plants, and hands-on horticulture. These beautiful, hand-painted stones will help guide visitors through the garden.

We are so proud of their hard work, creativity, and dedication to making this educational space come to life!

Take a look at some of the behind-the-scenes magic below.

We had a wonderful workday this morning at the Wellness Garden! It was a busy two hours, but we accomplished a lot.

A huge welcome to the two community members who joined our crew today! We love seeing new faces get a little dirty.

We harvested fresh strawberries and peas. That was the best strawberry I've ever eaten. One of the perks of helping harvest.

We even had a surprise visit from Jim Bearden, our local bluebird expert and Master Gardener, who stopped by to check on the birdhouses. It’s a great reminder that our garden supports more than just the community it’s a home for our local wildlife, too.

Everything we grow here is headed to local Cobb County food pantries. Thanks to everyone who helped us grow for our neighbors today! If you couldn't make it today we will be back at it next Monday.
