Join us in UofL's organic, student-managed garden to learn how home gardens played a role in defeating global fascism and how we can harness that power again to undermine autocracy and re-democratize our food system.
While the original context was wartime food shortages and supporting troops, modern victory gardens are driven by sustainability, health, and a desire for self-reliance.
Today's gardens focus on reducing carbon footprints, promoting organic practices, and fostering stronger local economies.
This is part of our fall series of Garden Workshops. The Garden Commons is a shared, collectively-managed space, open to participation any time from students, staff, faculty, and community members. Everyone who comes is welcome to share in the harvest!
Connect with us and get all the details on Facebook or Instagram.
This is a UofL Sustainability Week event!
