Market Garden
The term "Market Garden" refers to a type of farming that focuses on growing vegetables, fruits, and flowers for sale in local markets. These farms are typically smaller in scale and emphasize high-quality produce, often using sustainable practices. Market gardens can be found in various regions and are essential for providing fresh food to communities.
During World War II, the term also relates to the Operation Market Garden, an ambitious military campaign launched by the Allies in September 1944. The operation aimed to secure key bridges in the Netherlands to facilitate a rapid advance into Germany. Despite initial successes, it ultimately faced significant challenges and was deemed a failure.
