In three short years, PGP has created multiple Pop-up Victory Gardens, a workplace garden at the Field Museum, demo gardens and a school garden and taught thousands of people how to grow their own food. For 2013, their plans include more Pop-up Victory Gardens, a nutrition education garden with Swedish Covenant Hospital and a home cooking edu-cation program in partnership with the Chicago Parks Department.
