The Wild Child Gardens of Natural Wellness Homeschool Hangout meets at the Growing with a Purpose Gardens located in the town of Somerville in Fayette County, Tennessee at A New Life Herbs. The gardens include six raised bed style gardens and a community in-ground garden. The raised beds are constructed with galvanized and rust-resistant materials and organic soil mix, and the community garden is a row style design that has been amended with compost and natural fertilizers.

 

The gardens are planted and maintained with local home school students and other volunteers, and contains an array of herbs, pollinator-friendly flowers, and vegetables. The students learn about the gardening season, planting root vegetables, seeds and seedlings, beneficial insects, pollinators, seed saving techniques, and how to use the garden harvest.

​

The bounty from this garden is cultivated, grown, watered, maintained, harvested, cleaned by hand, and shared with the local community.
