Victory Gardens 2008+ is a pilot project 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.

In 2008 we will choose 15 households that represent the diversity of
San Francisco to participate in the program. You can participate
regardless of your income, ethnicity, available space, neighborhood,
gardening experience, or lifestyle.

As a participant, you will work with the Victory Gardens team to
install a garden in your outdoor space. Although you will be the
primary caretaker of the garden, the Victory Garden team will provide
ongoing support.

Download the PDF application (below) and get ready to plant!

You can also pick up a paper copy of the Victory Gardens Application at City Hall in the Mayor's office of Neighborhood Services, Room 160, in San Francisco.
