Victory Gardens for All

Founded by Charlotte Anthony, Victory Gardens for All installs sustainable gardens that closely mimic natural growing environments all across Eugene. Within five hours, the Victory Gardens team can transform a patch of lawn or dirt into a functional garden, with ready-to-eat plants in roughly four weeks.

A small team (often 4-8 people) work together to install gardens in people's front or backyards. A fee pays for plants, soil amendments and compost, but all fees collected go directly into your garden -- no money is retained by the group. A part of receiving a garden includes volunteering to help create two more gardens for other Victory Garden recipients, fostering community growth and connecting people with similar interests -- namely, sustainable gardening.

To request a garden or volunteer with the team, call 541-653-0149. Learn more at www.victorygardensforall.org

@kennethseide You can contact them directly - they do need volunteers. Google "Victory Gardens for All Eugene" for their website. Youtube won't let me include a URL in comments here.
