During World War I, posters saying “Food will win the war” urged Americans to grow their own food in what became known as victory gardens. More than 100 years later, home gardeners are returning to that idea in the fight against a pandemic. The spread of the new coronavirus raises fears about problems with food supplies and the cost of food in a weak economy. So, many gardeners are coming together to learn and share stories on how to grow vegetables, fruits, and flowers. Creating a victory garden now can be a shared experience during hardship and uncertainty.
