Gan Tamid is a community garden for the congregants of Dor Tamid, a reform synagogue in Johns Creek, GA. It was founded in 2008 by Linda Barton, a member of Dor Tamid, who had a vision for a community garden to grow fresh, healthy produce for donation. Weekly trips are made to local food banks and/or coops, during the summer harvest.
It began with 2 small raised beds, and has now grown to a size of 40’X60’ encompassing eight 4X8 and four 3X3 raised beds, an extensive Muscadine grape arbor, and a large field garden used mainly to grow food for donation. Weekly trips are made to local food banks and/or coops, during the summer harvest.
The raised beds can be adopted for a small fee every year and the gardeners participate in growing produce, flowers and herbs for both themselves and for donation to the community.
