Project Victory Gardens

Project Victory Gardens is an agritherapy program designed to Cultivate Resiliency among our Nation's veterans and communities. Through exposure to farming techniques, artisan homesteading classes, and participation in resiliency exercises, Victory Gardeners will experience a reawakening of the drive and sense of purpose that they had in the military. Established by Matthew and Kara Rutter, Project Victory Gardens is a veteran operated program in Aiken, South Carolina. Matt and Kara served a cumulative 45 years in the U.S. Army, culminating at Command Sergeant Major and Sergeant Major, respectively. Matt and Kara are both qualified Master Resiliency Training instructors who use their resiliency skills every day. While some of those resiliency skills are built through formal programs, it often comes in the mundane tasks around the farm: feeding chickens, milking goats, or pulling weeds in the garden. Project Victory Gardens is set on twenty beautiful acres with a 2.5-acre pond. Surrounding the pond is a zen trail where one cannot help but gain balance and perspective.
