Victory Garden

Victory Garden at The National WWII Museum

Victory gardens, also called war gardens or food gardens for defense, were vegetable, fruit and herb gardens planted at private residences and public parks in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada during World War I and World War II to reduce the pressure on the public food supply brought on by the war effort. In addition to indirectly aiding the war effort these gardens were also considered a civil "morale booster" — in that gardeners could feel empowered by their contribution of labor and rewarded by the produce grown. This made victory gardens become a part of daily life on the home front.

My Mom...My Hero recently became a Master Gardner! One of her projects is the Victory Garden at the WWII Museum. What a peaceful, beautiful little place. Every week she goes, along with two of her friends...Rose and Susie. They have breakfast at The Soda Shop then walk over to the garden. What a great thing to be a part of!!! I'm so proud of you Mom!
