It is a concept currently in development                              with the city of San Francisco that would provide                              a subsidized home gardening program for individuals                              and neighborhoods.
 This program offers tools, training & materials                              for urban dwellers to participate in a city-wide                              transformation of underutilized backyards— turning                              them into productive growing spaces.
  The project  draws from the historical model                              of the 1940's American Victory Garden program to                              provide a basis for developing urban agriculture                              as a viable form of sustainable food practice in                              the city.                                                                 | more |  |  |      |                            |               |  |  |   |
