Mercy Gardens

We urban farm by revitalizing abandoned lots and partnering with local green spaces to increase access to fresh, nutrient-dense produce to the community.

Community Engagement

We have many ways to get involved throughout the year as a Samaritan Partner; attend our events, order office lunches, or allow us to cater your next event.

GROWING BETTER TOGETHER

 
 

We Grow Fresh, Local Produce Through our Mercy Gardens

We are Innovating and partnering to Meet Community Needs.

Since 1982 The Good Samaritan Inn has served the community through leadership of a diverse staff supported by volunteers, the Decatur faith community, the Old King’s Orchard Neighborhood and the many good samaritans in our community. In recent years, we have developed gardens to revitalize our neighborhoods, expand access to fresh, nutrient-dense produce, and increased our community partnerships to further impact Decatur and Macon County.
