10 years of Garden Blitzin’!

The New Leaf Foods Garden Blitz is celebrating its 10th anniversary of bringing food sovereignty, sustainability, & resilience to the Greater Green Bay area through gardening. However the Garden Blitz has its roots going back over a century to the Victory Gardens that seem to reassert themselves into our society everytime we find ourselves in a crisis. Like the Victory Gardens we draw inspiration from, we have spent the past 9 years installing 880 gardens with the help of over 560 volunteers not because we selfishly worry for ourselves, but because we collectively care for each other. This is why 16 of our gardens have been for food shelters & pantries, why we have partnered with Brown County Extension to pair garden mentors with 143 gardeners, & why we focus on getting gardens into as many schools as possible. 

Looking forward to 2023 we continue forward to install 80 more gardens for our Green Bay area schools, our military veterans, & each other. Today, we start Garden Blitz season; & we want you to help us continue this tradition of promoting our communities well-being. Purchase your garden box here now! Before they are all gone.

From now until May 7th we have an extensive number of ways you can contribute to the New Leaf Foods Garden Blitz. From mentoring new gardeners, to donating money to provide gardens to schools and veterans,to volunteer building & installing the gardens we have a way to ensure that everyone can be welcomed into the Garden Blitz Season and engage in our collective food future.
