Today, we are setting the table with herbs and cut flowers grown by Special Growers. Special Growers is a non-profit organization located in Blount County, TN. This organization offers workforce development training and employment for people with disabilities who are aging out of high school special education classes. At Special Growers, they grow culinary herbs and cut flowers and are supported by area restaurants, corporate donors, and community members. Kent Davis is our guest, a founding member of Special Growers, and is also a parent of a child that benefitted from Special Growers.
