The American Community Gardening Association will be hosting their 31st annual national conference from August 5-8 at the Lourdermilk Center in Atlanta, GA. Through this conference, they wish to promote Georgia's contribution towards developing green spaces and encouraging healthy lifestyle behaviors by showcasing efforts of other organizations that promote health and wellness through inner-city/urban farming and community gardening.

The keynote speaker will be Dr. Yvonne Butler, the creator of the Sugar-Free School Lunch Program. The results of Dr. Butler's 'sugar-free' school have soared to new heights with higher test scores, fewer disciplinary programs, and fewer weight problems among students.
