Be the Inspiration ~

We're coming down the stretch ~

We are just days away (4 to be exact!) from the 350 Victory Garden Challenge weekend on May 14^th/15^th. It has been an incredible ride so far as we have been working hard preparing projects and people for the big weekend. We can hardly believe it is almost here, can you?

Currently there are 187 garden projects registered through the 350 Victory Foundation website. We are over halfway to our goal! We can do this. By registering our garden actions we are participating in a wonderful movement toward greater sustainability by growing our own food and inspiring other people to do the same. Let’s be the inspiration we all seek during a time when it is much needed.

Thinking about registering a garden project, but not sure why or what? Keep it simple. Truly, if it is one plant, one pot, one garden bed, it counts! It is one more action toward moving our world toward a healthy and sustainable climate.

Here is the scoop on the 350 Victory Garden Challenge:

Who:

YOU! And all of the other challengers across the globe working in the garden over the weekend.

What:

The 350 Victory Garden Challenge is a spin-off of the 350 Home and Garden Challenge where in one weekend folks from across the country take action. And by action we mean ANY effort in the garden or home that moves you, your community, and the earth toward greater sustainability. Every action counts no matter how big or how small it is.

When:

This weekend! That would be May 14^th/15^th. Anytime this weekend. YOU choose! Can’t make it happen THIS weekend? ...Register your project anyway, it counts!

Where:

YOU decide! Keep it private at home in your own backyard, on your own balcony or porch, with your neighbors, or take it public in a community garden project or beyond. It is completely up to you!

How:

To participate, simply register your garden action on our website. It’s simple. Answer a few questions about your project and that is it! Done.

Pick up and Deliver Compost!
