CASE Construction Equipment donated the use of an SV280B skid steer to Victory Garden Initiative’s 13th Annual Great Milwaukee Victory Garden BLITZ. Volunteers built 385 garden beds and filled an additional 200 beds with fresh soil all within twenty-nine days.
The Great Milwaukee Victory Garden BLITZ is the nation’s largest garden-building event — having installed more than 5,000 gardens across the Greater Milwaukee area. Beginning with a group of friends in 2009 — who installed 35 raised-bed gardens in a single day — Victory Garden Initiative’s mission focuses on empowering communities to grow their own food and re-establishing the relationship between human and food ecology.
