“Victory Garden”

A Victory Garden is a vegetable, fruit, and herb garden planted by civilians during wartime, especially during World War I and II. These gardens aimed to boost food production and free up large-scale farms for war efforts, while also encouraging self-sufficiency and community participation. They provided families with fresh produce, reduced reliance on commercial food supplies, and fostered a sense of patriotism and resilience. Today, the term is sometimes used to describe any personal garden cultivated for similar reasons, emphasizing the importance of sustainable and local food sources.
