From Victory Gardens to Urban Jungles: The Evolution of City Gardening
Share
🎖️ The Gardens That Saved a Nation: Victory Gardens
One of the most moving moments in American horticultural history was the 'Victory Garden' campaign during World Wars I and II. To combat severe food shortages, citizens cultivated vegetable patches in vacant lots, backyards, school playgrounds, and even on the White House lawn (championed by First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt). By 1944, nearly 40% of the fresh vegetables consumed in the US were produced in these Victory Gardens. This deeply ingrained a profound confidence into the American DNA: the belief that they could grow plants in any environment.
