For every person that stands to be counted; we are touching at least two other people - partners, children, parents, grandparents, friends and other family members of the ONE person that stood up. We're asking for 350 people to get into their gardens on a single weekend - May 14-15 to gather with others to grow their food at or near home.
Watch this page for 'By the Numbers' to see how we're doing with the 350 Victory Garden Challenge and the National Challenge at large. These numbers represent the impact that the message is having on the community.

This was a very successful campaign. People took the 350 Victory Garden Challenge in many ways: Registering their gardens, being on a garden work crew, becoming a fan on Facebook, and following us on Twitter. We've completed the counts and want to let you know how widespread your efforts were to help bring awareness to growing your foot at or near home and actually getting into the garden to make it happen.
Drum roll please ... 665
