Virtual Victory Gardens

Grow a Victory Garden and Gift a Garden.

In partnership with the African American Community Response Team (AACRT) we are mobilizing young people to grow their own produce across Minneapolis.

Our mission:

To provide young people and their families food and hands-on learning at home. To do so, we are offering Virtual Victory Gardens - a total garden kit and online resources to educate and inspire new and advanced gardeners how to grow healthy food at home.

Here’s how you can help:

Every Virtual Victory Garden Kit you purchase provides a free kit to a family in North Minneapolis.
