Victory Garden
The Victory Garden is a project adjacent to the Discovery Garden which produces vegetables for donation to UCAN that are then distributed to local pantries and community kitchens.
The Victory Garden offers Master Gardeners an opportunity to put into practice techniques taught in our Master Gardener winter training classes such as succession planting, crop rotation, leaf mulching, and vertical gardening.
By donating fresh, nutritious produce to UCAN, Master Gardeners are promoting and contributing to a healthier community.
