Build a Victory Garden with Rodale Institute

Rodale Institute, the birthplace of organic agriculture, is helping the community create their own organic victory gardens at home. An organic garden is a great place to start being closer to our food, spend more time in nature or start a new project with the kids. Rodale Institute’s Victory Garden Starter Kit contains more than $50 worth of educational materials direct from their organic gardening experts.

The exclusive Victory Garden Starter Kit includes access to Rodale Institute’s webinars Organic Gardening 101 and Compost Like A Pro!; Backyard Composting Basics Cheatsheet; Simple Guide to Vermicomposting; Vertical Gardening in an Urban Environment booklet; plus a Kids School Gardening Curriculum to teach children about soil science, nature and food.

In the 1940s, families used victory gardens to grow food during times of rationing. Now, in the time of social distancing, families are returning to the land in their own backyards. 

VforVictoryGardens is a community of the new generation of victory gardeners.

Cost: by donation. Each dollar goes to fund Rodale Institute’s mission to support organic farmers, backyard gardeners and consumers. Sign up at RodaleInstitute.org/victorygardens/ to receive a starter kit.
