My family and I love Our Giving Garden! They host all sorts of events, they're a certified nature habitat space, and they donate so much (maybe all?) of their produce to local folks in need. This is a wonderful place to support and participate in.
Events: The Garden hosts many kid-focused events. They do farm summer camps, toddler playgroups, craft events, cotillion, storytime, all sorts of things, and they're open to doing even more. Adult events I've seen are based on photography and crafting. There are also seasonal pop-up markets, an October pumpkin patch and community competitions.
Volunteer: The Garden does have a few employees and interns but depends on volunteers to help work the grounds and other events. There is actual farming done in the garden, chicken work, rabbit work, even donkey and goat work, repairs, etc. Wednesdays @ 4 is volunteer orientation time. They also host workdays on Saturdays.
Other: The Garden hosts Robin's Nest Nature School, which meets in the mornings Monday-Friday during district school semesters. Parking is in the Vinings Lake Church parking lot.
