Launched in 2018, our Climate Victory Gardens (CVGs) campaign is improving access to healthy food by recruiting new and seasoned gardeners across the country to use regenerative gardening practices. Modelled after the successful Victory Gardens of WWI and WWII, our CVG campaign is recruiting individuals and communities to turn their backyards, nearby vacant lots, parkways, or open fields into spaces that produce healthy, organic food.
