In victory gardens, people grew food to support the war effort during World War I and World War II. These gardens emerged as a way for citizens to supplement their rations and reduce pressure on public food supplies, promoting self-sufficiency and resilience. By cultivating vegetables, fruits, and herbs at home, individuals contributed to national morale and demonstrated solidarity during challenging times. The initiative also encouraged healthy eating and gardening practices that persisted beyond the wars.
