East Atlanta

Beneath the 2015 incarnation of this bohemian neighborhood lies a storied past. What is now Flat Shoals Avenue—home to craft-beer bars, intimate music venues, and inventive restaurants—used to be the Sandtown Trail, a Creek Indian trading route. And where now Craftsman bungalows dot the residential streets, cannons and rifles once roared among the old-growth oaks during the Battle of Atlanta. Situated three miles east of downtown, East Atlanta melds the historic and the contemporary with a dose of independent-minded swagger, appealing equally to the weekend party crowd, 30-something professionals, families with kids, and long-time residents who still tend their gardens and water their lawns, watching the ebbs and flows of the diverse and dynamic neighborhood they all call home.

Founded in 2006, the Brownwood Park Community Garden helped usher Atlanta into the urban gardening movement. And having more than doubled in size since its inception, the garden continues to grow to meet East Atlanta’s fervor for cultivating and harvesting fresh, organic food. On a typical summer day you can find okra, peas, peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, corn, beans, grapes, strawberries, wild flowers, and more throughout the garden’s public and private plots. Cared for by a dedicated staff of community volunteers, the garden is a living testament to East Atlanta’s sustainable, ecologically mindful future.
