Victory Garden Installed at SF City Hall!

Victory Gardens 2008+ is a pilot project from art collective the Future Farmers, funded by the City of San Francisco to support the transition of backyard, front yard, window boxes, rooftops, and unused land into organic food production areas. The SF Victory Garden program builds on the successful Victory Garden programs of WWI and WWII but redefines “Victory” in the pressing context of urban sustainability.  “Victory” is growing food at home for increased local food security and reducing the food miles associated with the average American meal.

The green thumbs were covered with brown dirt Saturday (July 12) at San Francisco’s Civic Center when 150 people who like to eat their vegetables planted an updated version of a World War II victory garden. more
