WWII Victory Gardens at Fruitville Public Library

This program will by presented by Stacy Spriggs of the Cooperative Extension Service.
Victory gardens, also called war gardens were vegetable, fruit and herb gardens planted at private residences and public parks in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Germany during World War I and World War II. These gardens in addition to supplementing the nation’s food supply were also considered a civil “morale booster” — in that gardeners could feel empowered by their contribution of labor and rewarded by the produce grown.
This program is part of several programs being presented as part of the One Book One Community selection, Unbroken, by
Laura Hillenbrand.
