This week we are diving into the history of victory gardens. This subject came to me during the middle of COVID-19. I’ve had family and I have kept gardens before COVID-19, and it was interesting to see the burst of new people coming onto the gardening scene. Which had some perplexing similarities to the history of victory gardens in a disconnected way. So we are going back to the time of victory gardens, especially during World War I and II. You might just get the garden bug yourself.
