Why Victory Gardens Matter
Victory Gardens became popular during World War I and experienced a resurgence during World War II in the United States, encouraging people to grow their own food to help alleviate food shortages. These gardens, planted in backyards, parks, and even on rooftops, significantly increased food production and contributed to the nation's wartime supply.
Today, the United States has an estimated 44 million people that experience food insecurity. With food inflation since the pandemic reaching 34.6%, the financial burden of food costs has increased significantly. If you grow your own food, you'll save on the need to buy food. You can help your budget and help your community by producing food for yourself and your neighbors.
Our goal is to provide resources so that Americans can grow their own food with minimal effort.
