Rising concerns over food access, food safety, and potential food shortages due to the COVID-19 pandemic inspired these Garden Kits. During WWI, Victory Gardens were introduced when similar issues existed. At that time, families were encouraged to grow their own food, not only for themselves but also as a way to reduce food shortages. In many ways, our current situation is similar. We must all work together as families, neighborhoods, communities, and as a country to meet this new challenge.

As a result, we have created 2 kits that allow families to grow food even with limited space or without an established backyard garden. The two packages, are the Vegetable Garden Kit (in the ground, outdoors) and the Herb Garden Kit (planters, indoors), so that no matter your gardening circumstances, you can participate in this fun gardening activity. And no gardening experience is required!

The plants in our packages are vegetables and herbs that would have traditionally been grown in Victory Gardens, are easy to grow, and have many uses. Now is a great time to begin a garden, provide a learning opportunity for the kids, and enjoy a fun family activity!
