Two Jacksonville organizations were featured on News4JAX's River City Live during its Oct. 9 Foodie Friday segment: Eat Your Yard Jax and Aligned Events Co.

Eat Your Yard Jax is a nonprofit edible-plant nursery and education facility on Jacksonville's west side. The organization encourages residents and schools to grow edible plants, with goals that include increasing food security, reducing food miles and improving freshness.

Aligned Events Co. offers event planning, coordination, decor and bartending services. The Asian woman-owned company says it works with clients to curate events while emphasizing attention to detail and luxury service at an affordable price.
