Our Mission
Victory Gardens is a nonprofit organization dedicated to making Nederland a more resilient community, primarily through local food production and renewable energy. We are committed to a grassroots initiative based on the principles of self-reliance, community, and sustainable living. We envision a community that directs and provides vital services related to the basic necessities of food, water, energy, waste management, medicine, and information.
We advocate a practical and common-sense approach that integrates local knowledge, science and technology, education, and information sharing. Our strategy is to begin with where we are, utilizing the material and human resources that already exist in the community. Drawing from the knowledge and creativity of local residents, we hope to build a more resilient community to meet the challenges posed by an uncertain future.
