Urban Gardens on the Rise in Knoxville

Recently we have seen a push for greener practices when it comes to the food that we eat. More people are shopping at farmer’s markets, people are eating organic, gmo free foods, and people want to know where their food came from. This national trend for eating green has moved to Knoxville, where urban gardens are picking up steam within the local community.

Knoxville leaders and Knoxville movers have been pushing for a way to incorporate urban gardens into the city. These gardens would be community gardens that everyone in the community would take care of and everybody would be able to take from them. It is a way to not only bring people together, but also to create a greener environment in the concrete jungle that is Knoxville.

Schools all over the country have recently started teaching their students how to grow gardens, whether through a garden at the school, or a local garden that they take field trips to. This green initiative is teaching kids how things work and showing them that food doesn’t just come from the grocery store, you can grow it and take care of it on your own.

The proposal for green gardens in Knoxville has passed through the Metropolitan Planning Commission and could be voted on in June. This green initiative would catch on to a movement that has been brewing nationwide.
