Peterson Garden Project (PGP) is a Chicago-based initiative dedicated to recruiting, educating, and inspiring individuals to grow their own food through a network of community-driven Pop-up Victory Gardens. Since its inception in 2010, PGP has engaged over 25,000 participants and grown 230,000 pounds of organic produce, while actively addressing food insecurity through its Grow2Give program, which donates organic food to local pantries. With a mission inspired by the WWII Victory Garden movement, PGP emphasizes volunteerism, collaboration, and sustainability, providing garden plots and educational resources to the community. The organization fosters an inclusive environment where families, individuals, and community partners work together to cultivate fresh produce, promoting both environmental stewardship and social equity.
