Gift-Giving Program
Victory Gardens San Diego invites you to give a meaningful gift to friends or family members while helping support garden builds and classes throughout San Diego.
We hope you'll help us "Grow it forward" by lending your financial support to our efforts with a holiday gift to honor friends and family.
Your donation honoring family and friends will contribute to VGSD's goal of putting front- and backyard gardens all over our county, and teaching folks how to grow delicious produce in their homes, schools and community. Every donation is appreciated and sends an important message to someone you care about. You'll receive an email thanking you for your tax deductible donation and a PDF e-card to send or print out and give to your honorees.
To make a tax-deductible donation, fill out the form below. Upon submission, you can then complete the process by making payment with a credit card via PayPal or by mailing us a check.
