Held annually since 2010, through a generous collaboration with Cornell University Horticulture Department with Professor Neil Mattson and loyal Cargill volunteers, the Victory Garden provides TCAction program participants with starter vegetable plants to create their own home garden.
All TCAction program participants are eligible to participate. Interested households select vegetable seedlings & herbs using a registration form in early spring for a pickup in May.
Each year, we appreciate Victory Gardeners who donate extra produce back to our Food Pantry.
