D'Best Spring
Huzzah!
D’Best Urban Farm is situated on the edge of East Atlanta near the South Moreland Kroger. We're kicking off the garden season for a Garden Art & Sculpture Market and we want to showcase your art!
We're collaborating with Julia Hill of Sculpture Things to expand our regular spring seed swap and plant sale to showcase a diverse selection of all things “garden art," and we'd love for you to join the collection of work.
