two women working in climate victory garden

Dear Friend,

So you've planted your Climate Victory Garden. Now what? Wait until it's time to harvest the fruits (and veggies) of your labor? Not quite. Your garden needs to be watered and weeded. And by mid-summer, crunchy veggies like beets, broccoli, and carrots are ready to be harvested while your potatoes and brussels sprouts continue to grow. You could even start planting now to harvest in late fall.

Tune in to our upcoming gardening webinar and you'll be ready to sow in a second batch of hearty greens like kale and cruciferous vegetables like broccoli in no time.

Join us Wednesday, July 28, at 2pm EST for this free webinar.

The webinar will focus on mid-summer gardening: how to handle weeds without harmful chemicals and how to plant now to harvest crunchy veggies later in the fall.

I'll start us off with an introduction to Green America’s Climate Victory Gardens campaign. Then we'll hear from Acadia Tucker, author of the new book Tiny Victory Gardens: Growing Good Food Without a Yard, about managing weeds in your garden and planning for the late planting season!

Attendees will also have the opportunity to have their questions answered towards the end of the webinar.

Bonus: Register and receive 20% off Acadia's book!

Climate Victory Gardens are having a real impact on the planet.

What we're reading this month

The Color of Food, by Natasha Bowens, is a collection of stories that explores the critical issues that lie at the intersection of race and food. It looks at the history of People of Color farming in the US, and how today's food and farm movement is just as much about feeding people as it is about promoting community and preserving culture.

Together, our gardens can move the dial on the climate crisis, and there’s lots of other benefits. Climate Victory Gardening is good for your physical and mental health, it supports healthy local environments, and it reinforces food security in your home and community.

Start your own Climate Victory Garden and join us on this journey.
