Victory Gardens 2007+
Submitted by nellie on November 10, 2007 - 3:56pm.
Interesting program. Details at Victory Gardens 2007
=============
A local network of home gardens = A community of food producers!
Victory Gardens 2007+ (VG2007+) is a concept currently being developed by Garden for the Environment and the City of San Francisco's Department for the Environment.
The program is a two year pilot project that supports the transition of backyard, front yard, window boxes, rooftops and unused land into food production areas. VG2007+ has the mission to create and support a citywide network of urban farmers by (1) growing, distributing and supporting starter kits for home gardeners, (2) educating through lessons, exhibitions and web sites and (3) starting and maintaining a city seed bank.
Each Victory Garden is delivered by a city gardener via the VG2007+ tricycle and includes a Starter Kit, lesson and one follow up harvest and seed saving lesson.
The program's ultimate goals is to reinhabit a portion of the original Victory Garden space in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park and perform the duties of development, maintenance, and operation.
