Something really good happened this year.
Okay, I know what you are thinking. This year?
But it’s true. This spring when we were all sheltering in place, more of us planted gardens than ever before. And I am here to tell you that planting a garden has the power to change the world.
In fact, scientists agree that growing food with regenerative practices—going organic, keeping soil healthy, and recapturing carbon back into the ground—is key to reversing the climate crisis.
Green America is leading the way with our Climate Victory Gardens campaign—helping all Americans plant gardens to grow healthy food and support a healthy climate at the same time.
Donate $30 or more to our Climate Victory Gardeners campaign today and have your choice of an organic market tote OR a recycled aluminum garden sign.
It doesn’t matter if your garden is as small as a window box of herbs or as large as a baseball field full of tomatoes, beans, kale, and zucchini. Either way, you’re thinking big for people and the planet!

Climate Victory Gardens are inspired by the collective action of Americans taken during the WWII victory garden movement, when 20 million home gardeners produced 40% of the fresh fruit and veggies consumed in the U.S. at the time.
Green America is bringing the victory garden back.
This time, we are gardening for the climate.
Here’s why collectively, our Climate Victory Gardens (including yours) and regenerative agriculture can make a real difference for the planet.
• Every acre we garden or farm regeneratively can capture 25 to 60 tons of carbon. That means planting 5,000 Climate Victory Gardens is like taking at least 140,000 cars off the road for a year. Now imagine if we can get to 50,000 gardens!
• We’re also helping thousands of farmers shift millions more acres to regenerative agriculture. Together, we can draw down enough carbon to meet the goals of the Paris Climate Accords.
If this inspires you, please donate $30 or more to this amazing work!
Inch by inch, row by row, we are going to heal the climate—I know!
