Ballethnic's Community Garden

One of my favorite local organizations in East Point is Ballethnic. Founded in 1990, Ballethnic is a non-profit organization comprised of two components, Ballethnic Dance Company and Ballethnic Academy of Dance. The Company is a classically trained, culturally diverse performing company, while the Academy provides professional training for children and adults. Their mission is to involve the community, especially youth and those who are financially disadvantaged, in an appreciation of this unique art form of dance.

I love the arts and I love dance, but I think everyone knows that I really love gardening. And when I found out that Ballethnic has a community garden, I couldn't wait to get in there and help. 

The garden is a way for Ballethnic to give even more to the community they work and live in, and provide their dancers a way to actively provide to the community who supports them with every performance.
As far as I know, the Ballethnic community garden was the first community garden in East Point, and given my love of both Ballethnic and gardening, I want to fundraise to provide them with some basic tools and equipment to get this garden really growing.

My plan is to get two cubic yards of Soil III compost delivered  and to upgrade their irrigation and rain barrels. Any extra money will go toward expanding the garden, some permanent plantings of fruit trees/bushes, and whatever tools necessary to make it thrive. I will be making a personal donation of consultation time and plants as well. 

With your help, we can help this incredible organization do even more incredible work. Thank you for your donation!
