Schoolyard Roots

✨ Seeds to Supper Recap ✨
Last week, our community came together for an unforgettable evening — and because of YOU, we raised nearly $10,000 to support hands-on garden education for Tuscaloosa’s students! 🌱💚
A huge thank you to everyone who purchased tickets, attended, donated, and made this night possible. We are so moved by this community’s generosity.
This event would not have been what it was without some truly incredible people:
🍽️ Chuck's Fish — Erin Barfield, Matt Loyd, and the entire Chuck’s Fish team dreamed up and executed an extraordinary menu featuring produce from Snow’s Bend Farm AND our own Schoolyard Roots gardens. Their vision and hospitality brought the whole evening to life.
🌿 Snow's Bend Farm — for providing gorgeous, seasonal produce that shined in every single course.
🍷 Jennifer Bologna of Spirits Wine Cellar & Amanda Delchamps of International Wines — for curating a stunning wine pairing list and sharing their incredible expertise with our guests all evening.
🌟 Brandon, Gavin, and the team at Ringer Wilks Co. — for not only sponsoring Seeds to Supper, but bringing their incredible vision to every last detail of the night.
We are so lucky to be surrounded by people who believe in this work. Because of your support, even more kids will get to put their hands in the dirt, grow their own food, and discover the magic of the garden. 🥕🌻
Thank you, thank you, thank you and we can’t wait to do it again! 🙏

Our May Board Meeting was extra special thanks to two incredible community partners! 🌱 A huge thank you to the Homebuilders Association of Tuscaloosa for opening their doors and hosting us in their beautiful meeting space, and to Jalapeños Downtown for fueling our planning with an amazing lunch. We are so grateful to be surrounded by a community that believes in what we do. 🙌🌿

Happy Harvest!! 🫛🥕🥬

As the school year wraps up, students have been helping harvest some garden goodies. From carrots to cauliflower, sugar snap peas to collard greens - it’s amazing to see what our gardens can do. And it’s even more amazing to give this produce back to teachers, staff, and students for some delicious, garden-fresh goodness!
