The Peterson Garden Project is an organic, community vegetable garden on the corner of Peterson and Campbell in Chicago’s 40th Ward. Thanks to Asian Human Services (for letting us use the lot) and the incredible support of Alderman Patrick O’Connor and his team, neighbors will once again be able to garden on this historic strip of Peterson Avenue.

Our site was part of an original WW2 Victory Garden from 1942-1945. This revival Victory Garden is being launched for the 2010 growing season for Chicago residents who, like those gardeners almost 70 years ago, want to work with their neighbors to grow their own food.

Join The Peterson Garden Project for an adventure in community gardening - retro style!
