Victory Gardens were vegetable, fruit, and herb gardens planted by civilians during times of war, particularly during World War I and World War II. These gardens aimed to boost food production and reduce pressure on public food supply systems. By growing their own food, families could contribute to the war effort and ensure they had fresh produce. The concept of Victory Gardens encouraged self-sufficiency and community spirit. Many people, including children and the elderly, participated in gardening, which also promoted physical activity and healthy eating. The movement highlighted the importance of local food sources and resilience during challenging times.
