Are you a gardener? Know someone who is?

Or, maybe you aspire to start growing your own food.

Your garden can fight climate change!

Climate change is happening now; it is NOT a distant threat.

The climate crisis is a global issue that affects each and every one of us, and we must take action to help mitigate the dangers we are facing. While we know it can feel like an insurmountable obstacle, something as easy as planting a garden is one way to be part of the climate change solution—and it’s fun!

Conventional farming and gardening practices can degrade soils and release harmful greenhouse gases. It doesn’t have to be that way! Using regenerative practices like composting, ditching the chemicals, and planting perennials can help your garden become a positive player in the fight against climate change.

We’re calling for all Green America gardeners to join the Climate Victory Gardening movement. It’s easy to get started and chances are, you’re already using some climate-friendly practices in your yard and garden.

Not sure where to start? Our Climate Victory Gardening Toolkit explains the concept in-depth and gives guidance around building soil health, growing more nutrient-rich foods, and fighting climate change in your yard!
