"ABC of Victory Gardens"
01
Artifact Overview
During World War II, Americans supported the war effort by planting "Victory Gardens" in backyards and vacant lots. The vegetables they grew helped feed those on the homefront, leaving commercially-grown food more available for soldiers on the battlefront. By 1943, over 18 million gardeners produced 40% of the vegetables grown in America, aided by booklets like this one.
