As a young girl, Bridget Bryant dreamed of farming alongside her grandfather, but it wasn’t until her son’s asthma sparked a need for homegrown produce that she got her hands in the soil. From planting on her porch to leading Zysis Garden, Bridget now partners with the Nashville Food Project and Tennessee State University to nourish her community.
Join host Kirbe Schnoor as she visits Bridget at her community garden and the Tennessee State Capitol to learn how this FarmHer is using advocacy and agriculture to make a lasting difference.
In this digital exclusive episode of FarmHER, we meet Bridget Bryant, a dedicated grower whose lifelong dream of farming led to the creation of Zysis Garden, where she feeds her community with fresh, chemical-free produce. At Mill Ridge Community Garden, she demonstrates a sustainable rain barrel system that supports her crops, and we follow her as she tends her garden, supplying food pantries and farmers markets with nutritious, homegrown produce. Bridget also shares her passion for advocacy at the Tennessee State Capitol, highlighting the challenges farmers face today.
