two women working in climate victory garden

Dear Friend,

There is so much upsetting news around the world these days, it can feel overwhelming. As we try to find ways to help those in need, it’s important to take time to care for ourselves. Gardening is a great way to relax and recharge while creating a world we want to live in.

Plus, if you garden following simple regenerative practices, growing food and flowers can be part of the climate solution.

It’s a win-win.

And, it’s easy! Get started with these basics of gardening.

No matter where you live or how much space you have (even if you live in an apartment), you can start a garden and be part of the movement of thousands of individuals across the country (and world!) who are gardening for the climate.
