Home Depot spotlights community garden

The Home Depot has put Pensacola’s From the Ground Up Community Garden into a new 60-second national television ad and supplied the project with donated materials. (pnj.com) The commercial was released around April 12, and production crews shot footage at the garden in February, according to the Pensacola News Journal. (pnj.com) (ispot.tv) The garden sits under the Interstate 110 overpass near downtown Pensacola. Home Depot selected it from a nationwide pool of candidates, the newspaper reported. (pnj.com) (bluewaterhealthyliving.com) The donation included thousands of dollars in plants, construction materials and supplies. Photo coverage from the News Journal also described plants, building materials and other equipment delivered to the site. (pnj.com 1) (pnj.com 2) From the Ground Up is not just a vegetable plot. Its website says the space hosts education, art, music and sustainability events, and grew out of an abandoned tract under the overpass. (fromthegroundupgardenpensacola.com) The project is tied to the Hive Foundation, which lists the garden at 501 North Hayne Street and names Elizabeth Eubanks as its garden steward. (hivefoundationfl.com) The garden has drawn local attention before this ad campaign. In December 2025, the Pensacola News Journal described it as a place for performances, art, produce and community healing. (pnj.com) That role expanded again this month, when the News Journal reported on a memorial area at the garden for people grieving relatives lost to violence. (pnj.com) The new ad gives that Pensacola site a national audience, while the donated materials stay on the ground under Interstate 110. (pnj.com)
