Our very own Nate “Nature” Farley celebrated his 27th birthday this week! Nate has been gardening for most of his life, and professionally for the past five years.
A few fun Nate facts:
🌱He is a thespian 🎭
🌱He doesn’t have social media
🌱His favorite color is lavender
🌱Gardening has changed his life immensely (listen to hear why!)
Statistics show that gardening has a wide range of health outcomes including reductions in depression and anxiety, stress, mood disturbance, and BMI as well as increases in quality of life, sense of community, physical activity levels, and cognitive function.
COCG encourages YOU to start, no matter your gardening level! Visit our website to find the community garden near you or sign up for our IFAS Community Gardening Curriculum with the first cohort starting in February.
Also, let’s give Nature some birthday love! Comment below with your favorite Nate story.

We’ve had some exciting news to share! A new community garden is coming to West Tampa’s MLK Park, a prominent food desert, as a part of our USDA Urban Agriculture Grant with the City of Tampa.
While we have an initial garden design, we can’t build a community garden without community! We held our first outreach meeting last week and met Lisa - a passionate balcony gardener who started gardening in March to grow fresh food for her and her children. Stay tuned for more updates on our Healthy MLK Park, including what name the community picks for their new garden 🌱💚
