We hope you join us to make North Avenue Clean & Green!

How many gardens can we plant in Milwaukee in one weekend?

The Victory Garden Initiative, Transition Milwaukee, Community Growers, and other partners will attempt to answer that question on Memorial Day weekend, when teams of volunteers will install gardens at a number of sites around Milwaukee. Planned sites include private homes, a rooftop garden at a local business, a food pantry, a church, and schools. The goal is to bring attention to the importance of cultivating community resilience through gardening – anywhere and everywhere, and now!There has never been a better time for gardening!
