Home Depot builds garden at headquarters

Home Depot began construction Monday on a parking lot garden.

The 3,000-square-foot garden is behind the Atlanta-based company's headquarters, on top of one parking deck. Spokesman Craig Fishel said the project will be used to film how-to videos for a Home Depot website, and that any yield from the garden will be donated to the Atlanta Community Food Bank.

Members of Home Depot's social media team will tend to the garden, which will include vegetables, herbs, trees and flowers.

Fishel would not say how much the company is spending on the garden.

Home Depot is using 13,000 pounds of lumber and 50,000 pounds of soil in constructing the beds. Fishel said people are increasingly planting on their own, and Home Depot wanted to be able to show them how to plant and garden.

"It certainly could be sustained in the future," he said.

Once filmed, the videos will be posted at community.homedepot.com.
