GreenLife Grocery will host a plethora of activities focusing on local farming and the foods we consume. Sequatchie Cove Farm, a sustainable farm of 300 acres nestled in the shadows of the Cumberland Plateau, will hold a discussion about their work and why it is important for the environment and our health. Come see Andy Fazio from Earth’s Harmony Landscaping, who will be constructing an urban flower garden on the roof of Greenlife Grocery. The garden will include clover for the honey bees as well as herbs that will be used in prepared foods in the store. As an added bonus to anyone who comes out, Greenlife Grocery will also have a special offer on Chico Bags. These bags will hold 20 pounds and will fold up small enough to fit on your key chain, so you'll never have to use a disposable bag again at the grocery store.

Check out WiggleWorm for a selection of children’s organic clothing and gifts. Also don't forget to stop by one of Chattanooga’s oldest and most acclaimed galleries, Bill Shores Frames and Gallery, where you will see a variety of local artists' work utilizing recycled materials and found objects. The New Moon Gallery will be featuring artist demonstrations including candle making and wheel thrown pottery. Be sure to check out the gallery's extensive line of organic cotton tees, earth friendly book selection and new garden art! The Vine at Greenlife will showcase small family vineyards as well as organic and biodynamic wines. Willa Collection, a women's apparel boutique, will feature J Brand Green Label organic cotton jeans. These jeans are made from cotton that is 100% organic, grown in fields free of pesticides. Each pair comes with a tote bag featuring green tips on ways anyone can make a big difference in the environment.
