Located about three miles east of downtown, Edgewood is bordered by Kirkwood to the east, Reynoldstown to the west, Candler Park to the north, and East Atlanta to the south. The community was developed around the turn of the 20th century as a response to economic boom, population growth, and a dramatic increase in the number of people working in the city. Located outside of the congestion downtown, Edgewood was geared towards blue collar workers that developed the land and built their craftsman-style homes there. Today, the neighborhood is marked by a booming commercial area, charming streets lined with modest homes diverse in character, and an admirably eco-concious creative community invested in coming together to make Edgewood one of Atlanta’s finest places to establish roots.
This neighborhood favorite is part wine shop, pantry, deli, bakery and rotisserie.
Designed not only for gardening, but also to address educational classroom needs, this lucky find is home to chickens, apiaries, a pollinator garden, rain garden, pond, fruit trees, berry bushes, veggie beds, mushroom logs, compost bins, and a treehouse with a slide and tire swing. Not only does the learning garden offer afterschool programming for children ages K-8, but it is also a pickup point for Georgia Organics’ popular CSA program. Activities rely heavily on community contribution, so be sure to visit the Wylde Center’s website for information on volunteer opportunities!
