companion planting is one of the simplest ways to grow smarter, not harder

certain plants naturally protect each other, repel pests, improve soil, and boost growth just by being planted side by side

no chemicals, no extra cost, just understanding how nature already works

this is how small gardens become powerful
this is how we grow more food with less
this is how we start doing things differently 🌱

Phase 1 of the 1Acre platform has been built through an incredible collaboration since the very beginning.

Our designer has spent countless hours guiding the overall creative direction of the project, from branding to visuals to the way everything comes together. During the first 9 months after we started, TCAT student developers and our CoderDojo students worked with us to help build the early technology behind the platform.

This project has never had big funding behind it.
It’s been built by students, volunteers, and people who believed in the idea from day one.

We are raising $20,000 to complete Phase 1 and pay for the design and development work that has already been done so we can move forward into the next stage.

We are fiscally sponsored, and every donation is tax-deductible and truly means the world to us.

Grassroots means we build it together. 🤝🫶

Don’t trash it — compost it. 🎃
Your Halloween pumpkin can help feed next season’s soil instead of filling a landfill. Pumpkins are 90% water and break down beautifully, adding nutrients back into the earth.

Composting keeps waste out of landfills, reduces methane emissions, and gives your old pumpkin a new purpose. 🌱

The Solution Is Growing.

We found three spaces that prove food can grow anywhere.

A Rooftop, once just a view, now a productive garden space feeding a local community and cooling the building beneath it.

A Building Wall, covered in over 85,000 plants, turning concrete into living architecture and showing how unused walls can clean the air and create beauty.

A Vacant Parking Lot, transformed into green ground, growing produce where there was once only asphalt and heat.

These are real examples of what happens when we rethink how we use space.
The future of food doesn’t require more land...it requires imagination.

Imagine what your space could do.

1 in 5 kids in Tennessee rely on SNAP just to eat.

SNAP cuts and rising grocery costs are hitting families harder than ever. These programs were meant to bridge the gap, but for many, that bridge is collapsing.

What’s happening:
Recent federal cuts have reduced monthly food benefits for thousands of Tennessee families, leaving food banks and local pantries struggling to keep up with record demand.

Who it’s impacting:
Children, veterans, seniors, and working families — the people keeping our communities running — are being forced to make impossible choices between groceries, gas, and rent.

What you can do:
Support your local food banks and pantries.
Donate, volunteer, or share a post. Awareness feeds action.

Tagging some of the incredible organizations feeding Nashville every day:


Together, we can make sure no child goes hungry while we keep building long-term solutions.

When food prices rise and SNAP benefits get cut, it’s our neighbors who feel it first.

Right now, 1 in 7 Tennesseans face hunger and while we work to build long-term solutions through our gardens, incredible organizations like are on the front lines making sure families have food today.

If you or someone you know needs help, visit their website and use the Food Finder tool to locate local pantries and assistance programs near you.

And if you’re able, donate, volunteer, or share. Every small act keeps someone fed while we keep building toward a better food system.

🌱 Together, we grow the solution
