Shades of Green Permaculture (SOG) and ArtsXchange

Shades of Green Permaculture is hosting a volunteer day as part of its Community Giveback Program to implement a regenerative landscape design for ArtsXchange, a fully integrated artist colony and community arts center in Atlanta. Developed pro bono by SOG, the design resolves significant drainage issues while creating a vibrant, sustainable space filled with medicinal and beneficial plants, aligning with ArtsXchange’s mission of building community and elevating Black artists and urban agriculture. volunteers will help remove landscape fabric, turn woodchips, plant cover crops, and stabilize soil in preparation for future volunteer days and phases, such as installing a water system, rain gardens, and planting fruit trees, herbs, berries, perennials, and cut flowers. Tenisio Seanima, ArtsXchange’s farmer and a leader in Atlanta’s urban agriculture, will guide volunteers, including members of a local church committed to participating.
