Fundraising Victory Garden
Starter Kits

Victory Gardens San Diego will help you get your Victory Garden started with a kit containing materials for a 4' x 8' garden bed. When you buy your kit, you will also be helping fund a free kit for a family in need.

An average kit contains:

  • Appropriate materials for your raised bed (if required), or in-ground bed creation.
  • A drip irrigation system including a timer
  • Compost and planter mix
  • Watering can
  • Gloves
  • Seeds
  • Gardening tools
  • and more!

Fundraising Victory Garden Kits may vary depending
on the size and location of your garden area.

Applications are now being accepted for a limited number of Fundraising Victory Garden kits. Early applicants receive priority, so send in your application soon! After your application is submitted and you are chosen for a kit, you will be contacted to arrange a site visit. If selected, you will work with the Victory Gardens team to install a garden at your site. Payment must be made before work begins, either by check or PayPal. Although you will be the primary caretaker of the garden, the Victory Garden team will provide ongoing support.

To apply, fill in the online form below or click here to download a paper application (Acrobat Reader required).
