With spring arriving, it’s time to begin caring for the community blueberry patches we planted a couple months ago in Forest Heights and Newtown.

Less than 48 hours after launching the community blueberry project in Forest Heights , 17 people have already signed up via the volunteer form! And another six expressed interested via Facebook, email or phone.

All of the 17 people who filled out the volunteer form so far said they are willing to host blueberry patches. So we definitely have a lot of site options already!

Regenerators.earth launched this week in conjunction with a project to establish shared perennial food sources in two Athens, Georgia neighborhoods. The aim of the Regenerators website is to share information about how land and communities can be regenerated through intentional design. The site also aims to highlight and support regenerative projects in the Southeast bioregion, known as the Dixon bioregion.

The community blueberry project is the first project featured and supported by the site. Organized by Clyde Yates of Hungry Gnome Gardenscapes and Regenerators.earth founder Bart King, the project will use donations and volunteer labor to plant blueberry patches alongside roads in the Forest Heights and Newtown neighborhoods of Athens. Once established, the blueberries will be available for any passerby to pick and eat during season.
