Gardeners promote pollinators for critical food production

Nestled along 1431 near The First Baptist Church of Kingsland, the colorful King’s Garden buzzes with pollinators and harvesters. A Highland Lakes Master Gardeners’ project, this is a “share” garden to help feed families in need.

All produce is wheelbar - rowed to the Share the Harvest Food Pantry next door. On Thursdays, the Pantry opens its doors, cars line the block, and hundreds are nourished with a bounty of season al fruits and vegetables. Local resident and Master Gardener volunteer Keith Atwood manages the impressive garden program.

"We welcome vol unteers to help us harvest any Monday and Wednesday mornings— just come out!” he said.
