Get Growing, Victoria!
The Get Growing, Victoria! program supports communities in need through partnerships with non-profit organizations. This City of Victoria program helps distribute seedlings and soil-building materials to residents who face barriers to growing their own food.
Our partner organizations support communities through their programs. Programs include horticultural therapy, gardening and food access programs for community kitchens that support people with disabilities.
About the Program
The seedlings are grown in the City nursery in Beacon Hill Park and distributed in partnership with community organizations. Soil-building materials are generated through Parks operations. The program has been in operation since 2020. Each year, the City distributes approximately 100,000 seedlings and delivers over 700 cubic yards of soil-building materials in partnership with 67 organizations.
