During World War II, 20 million Victory Gardens were planted in the United States to help feed our troops and relieve food shortages here at home. Urban, suburban, and rural communities all came together in this shared effort. In this program, students will learn about the history and purpose of Victory Gardens, analyze primary source artifacts from that era, connect Victory Gardens to modern environmental practices, and plan their own victory garden to help grow a greener future!
