Victory Gardens

Victory Gardens were also called War Gardens and Food Gardens. They were planted in public parks and private homes. Even on rooftops in the cities. Victory Gardens contributed good produce and also gave the gardeners a sense of pride. During World War 1 and II almost 20 million Americans planted these functional gardens. They were very successful. Today there are people again interested in these "Victory Gardens" To eat better and help raise new awareness of these public gardens. You can check out the "Victory Garden" series on PBS channels in the USA .  Happy gardening!

Learn to Grow Vegetables..photo

To plant a garden in the spring is one of the greatest gifts you can teach a child or an adult. Working in the fresh soil of the spring is so rewarding. Vegetables are healthy and so full of vitamins and minerals. Soil, seeds and a little water will make a garden flourish. When you plant, remember to space the seeds out when planting. This will ensure a good crop through the entire summer. You can visit www.mukilteogarden.org to see how they are using a small plot of ground to grow many varieties of fruits and vegetables. This is a great project for any city, large or small...Enjoy the bounty that nature can offer... happy gardening!
