WWII Victory Gardens Virtual Tour
Tuesday, April 19, 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm.
Come celebrate Spring at the Victory Gardens!
It has been said that an army travels on its stomach, never was this more true than during the dark days of WWII. This session examines the unprecedented contributions made by millions of ordinary Americans who fought the war literally in their own backyards by growing food for themselves, the army, and our allies in small plots known as Victory Gardens.
Interactive discussion topics include: Where did the idea for these gardens come from? Why were these gardens so necessary? What did the government do to encourage their creation? What was grown in these gardens? How much did they actually help?
