Congratulations! The 350 Home & Garden Challenge was your campaign and together we can now tell a deeper and richer collective story about the importance of our movement . All the actions that were taken on May 14 & 15, big and small, are a reflection of the work that is under way in communities like yours. From 600+ actions taken across nine cities in Sonoma County, to a grandmother who "planted seedlings and other garden projects with (her) grandchildren, 4 and 6. Talking with them about the Challenge." If you have a story about the Challenge please share it with us.

In total, just over 1,500 actions in 226 different towns and 37 different states (and four countries) were registered! While it is important to capture the various statistics and communicate a large number of actions, the true power of this campaign is more difficult to truly measure at a national level. For example, we don't know how many cross-organizational bonds were formed or strengthened, how many people will be eating healthier this summer, or how many neighborhoods might now be considering starting a Transition initiative. We do know that our communities are that much more alive and thriving as a result.

Many thanks to our partners who helped us spread the word. This challenge was the context that allowed us to deepen our relationships and explore new ways of collaborating. For a list of our partners, to see photos of the weekend, or view the actions map please visit the challenge wrap-up page.  And stay tuned for more stories, photos, and videos.
