Youth-led agricultural education
Growing skills. Growing opportunity.
Growing Georgia.
Plant It Georgia brings hands-on growing lessons to young people, schools, and communities. We plant, care for crops, and learn how food grows—together.
Our story
Everyone deserves the chance to learn where their food comes from—and how to grow it.
Many young people have limited access to agricultural education and hands-on growing opportunities. Plant It Georgia was created to help close that gap.
As a youth-led initiative of Equity For All Inc., we connect young people and communities with practical, modern growing methods. In classrooms, community gardens, and our mobile farm classroom, learning comes to life.
Our mission
Equip young people with the knowledge, confidence, and hands-on experience to grow food and explore opportunities in agriculture and food systems.
Our programs
From classrooms to community spaces, we make agriculture hands-on, engaging, and closer to home.
The mobile farm classroom
We bring hands-on growing education to schools, community organizations, and neighborhoods. Our mobile farm classroom gives young people a practical way to connect science, technology, and the food on their plates.
Lessons & workshops
From planting a first seed to caring for a growing system, our lessons and workshops make agriculture something students can see, touch, and practice. Young people explore skills they can use at home and in their communities.
Training cohorts
Cohorts connect growing lessons with ongoing hands-on experience. Plant It Georgia’s first 10-week mobile classroom cohort launched on September 15, 2026. Contact us to learn about upcoming opportunities.
What we teach
You don’t need acres of land to learn how food grows. Discover five practical approaches we introduce to young people.
Grow food in pots and containers using a suitable growing medium. A porch, patio, or other small space can become a place to practice planting and plant care.
Grow plants without soil by delivering water and dissolved nutrients to their roots. Some systems use a growing medium to support the plants.
Plant roots are suspended in air and supplied with a nutrient-rich mist. Students explore how water, nutrients, and oxygen help plants grow.
Combine fish cultivation with plant growing. Beneficial microbes help turn fish waste into nutrients plants can use, while the system recirculates water.
Grow plants in stacked layers or upright systems to make use of vertical space. Vertical arrangements can work with different growing methods, including hydroponics.
Vertical growing
Our vertical towers stack plants upward instead of spreading them across a garden bed. Follow the journey from a tiny seed to something you can harvest.
STEP 01 / 05
Start seeds in a growing medium and care for them until they become healthy seedlings. It’s the first small step toward a bigger understanding of food.

The Plant It Georgia campaign
OUR FIVE-YEAR GOALyoung people. One growing future.
Our goal is to train 50,000 young people under age 25 over the next five years—expanding access to hands-on growing education across Georgia.
Help grow the next generationOur first 10-week mobile classroom cohort launched September 15, 2026.
50,000 is our target—not an achieved training total.Why this matters
Early, practical growing experiences can help young people see their place in agriculture. The 2022 Census of Agriculture offers context for that opportunity.
Average age of Georgia farm producers
Approximately 5,031 of Georgia’s 67,082 producers were under 35
A note on the numbers: These figures describe farm producers, not everyone working in agriculture. The census’s under-35 group is broader than our campaign’s under-25 focus.
