The Great Milwaukee Victory Garden BLITZ is the nation's largest garden-building event, building over 500 raised garden beds, engaging over 350 volunteers, and empowering communities to grow their own food every spring!

Victory Gardening grew out of WWII and was a way to support the war effort. People throughout the United States grew their own produce in yards, parks and all available community spaces to allow more resources to go towards the war.

Today, we are fighting a different kind of war - against health-related diseases and for resilient and healthy communities that support one another. So how does one become a Victory Gardener of today, you ask? We become vegetable gardeners! We find creative ways to grow food right where we are, in our yards, on our rooftops, in our schools - no piece of earth should be overlooked.

Groups of volunteers from businesses, nonprofits, social organizations, schools, and government offices make up the bulk of our BLITZ volunteers. We couldn't put in 500 gardens across Milwaukee without you! Thank you for your efforts to make this world a healthier, more productive place!

Teams of ~5 will complete a variety of activities during their shift including building garden beds, transporting the materials and beds themselves, and coordinating with the recipient of the garden bed.

Please feel free to sign up for as many days or shifts as possible. We generally need more help during the weekdays, but any day that your team can come help out will be greatly appreciated! Shifts below are full day shifts, however if you can only volunteer for a half day shift, message us directly at lexie@victorygardeninitiative.org

We do have a maximum number of volunteers we can accommodate comfortably, so once that limit is reached, the sign-up for some volunteer shifts may close.

Set up a Volunteer Project day at Waimea Valley!

You're invited to bring your club, team, business or organization for a fun filled day of giving back!
This is an opportunity to set up a service learning volunteer event in Waimea Valley. Your team will get the chance to help us care for this beautiful valley and learn while you work. If you are part of a group or organization looking for potential community service hours or looking for a way to make a positive impact in the world, we will work with you to set up a fun and productive day. We are a non-profit organization, so any time spent helping here will count for community service requirements.

Volunteer groups take on projects throughout the main valley such as: weeding, clearing debris, invasive species removal, cleanup in garden beds, cultural site maintenance, event setup, trail maintenance, painting and many more. We will work with you to find a project that suits your needs, availability, skills and interests; so that your crew can contribute to the future of Waimea Valley in the way that suits them best.

The available dates to set up am event are dependent on the Volunteer Coordinator's schedule which tends to fill in about 2 weeks in advance, the sooner you set up for an RSVP, the more likely you are to get the date you are looking for. The open days will change every month, but you can always send an email to the volunteer coordinator ( Volunteers@waimeaValley.net ) and find out what is available. The general schedule for the coordinator is Tuesday-Saturday, but this schedule is flexible. Given 2 weeks notice volunteer events can be scheduled on Sundays and Mondays.

The volunteer groups play a big role in caring for our botanical gardens, protecting the rare and endangered species in the valley and allowing us to do more for visitors. With our small non-profit staff and over 1,800 Acres to manage, the volunteers are essential to our success in maintaining this awesome valley. As an added thank you to the volunteers for their contributions, we offer them free entry to our valley for the rest of that day, so we recommend planning a full day with volunteering in the morning followed by lunch and time to explore the valley and learn from our cultural and botanical teams.

When contacting the volunteer coordinator to set up an event, some important information will be:

Name of the group or organization you represent.
Approximately how many people you expect would attend (ballpark estimates are fine)?
Dates you are interested in.
age ranges of the potential participants.
any specific interests?
any time restrictions?
physical limitations that we should be aware of.
will your group be entering the valley after the work is done?
would your group want to eat lunch on site? (If yes, are they looking to purchase said lunch from us?)
any questions you have
we will be looking forward to welcoming your group to be a part of helping Waimea Valley thrive.

we are open again, so we will be holding group volunteer events, but with some new rules and restrictions to prevent the spread of Covid-19. For example, we will be limiting the group size to 50 or less participants until we feel it is safe to allow for larger groups to visit. This may change as the state and CDC guidelines are updated.

Biophelia Health Forecast Scenario Planning Volunteer, CrowdDoing

Plant proximity has been shown to be beneficial in multiple ways including from air pollution reduction & stress reduction. These leverage points have been demonstrated to have positive medical consequences in terms of reduced opioid addiction, reduced medical mistakes, prevention of diseases & conditions such as hypertension & related complications, asthma, heart attacks, strokes, cancer, diabetes, alzheimers & dementia, schizophrenia, rheumatoid arthritisacute pancreatits, chronic kidney disease. We have also evaluated the consequences of proximity to plants on hospital staff presenteeism, absenteeism & turnover rates.

We have concluded that under any scenario we have tested, a network of plant walls & vertical gardens and other uses of plants could pay for themselves in as little as two years and provide beneficial outcomes for more than 20 years. Plant proximity is understood by the scientific community through the lens of ""biophelia"". Biophelia is the visual & sensory experience of plants and proximity to plants. You have expertise relevant to reviewing for validity and applicability our simulation of biophelia in hospitals. Our draft aims to forecast the social outcomes that could be caused by varying scenarios of biophelia in hospitals. We have identified more than 100 outcomes that in principle can be attributed to biophelia. We present here in draft for review a partial simulation of this impact potential. We have aimed to consider prospective benefits to all stakeholders. We have structured this to be a flexible model that can be adapted to any hospital circumstance. We’ve aimed to identify both health outcomes, environmental outcomes financial outcomes.
