The Peterson Garden Project, like the original WW2 Victory Gardens, is being built on the generous donations of time and resources from community members who know that edible gardening matters.

We’ll be providing opportunities throughout the spring to participate in fundraisers and your financial donations are important.

Farm4You is a program where you make a donation (sliding scale from $250+) and we tend a 6×4 foot bed for you. That’s 24 sq. feet of the most delicious, fresh organic produce all summer long with no work on your part - quite a steal when you consider the price of heirloom tomatoes at the grocery store. (But, truthfully, your own tomatoes will taste much better.) If you are interested in this innovative (and tasty!) program, please send an email to[email protected]

The Peterson Garden Project is a non-profit organization in the state of Illinois. We are in the process of being set up as a 501 c 3 . Until that happens, donations will not be tax deductible. But they will be greatly appreciated.

You can make a difference as we recreate garden history! Any amount is welcome!
