[Community_garden] victory gardens

[Lexie Stoia]

Hi Lynn and others,
Here in the Grandview Heights suburb (Columbus, Ohio), the Wallace Gardens
community garden goes back to Victory Garden days and has been gardened
continuously since then. It is quite popular and has a waiting list.
There will be a feature on this garden and Victory Gardens in general in the
May/June issue of "Touch the Soil" magazine.
Any others out there?

Lexie

Hello,

Just do a search on-line to get lots of info on
Victory Gardens.  Liberty Gardens were during WWI.

In response to Tonya in St. Paul:
I have a hard time believing there are only 2 Victory
gardens left. Unless, you mean gardened consecutively
every year since the war/the beginning of the garden?

In Cleveland, I've heard of 2, maybe 3 that were used
as Victory Gardens.  I don't have official
documentation on these but, I know at one site, the
gardeners have collected any history they know about
the site and say it was used as a V-garden and
earlier.  Though, I don't think this site was gardened
consecutively from WWII until today.  The other 2
gardens have not been recorded officially, really it's
just be word of mouth, but doesn't mean that it isn't
the truth because the research just hasn't been done.

Other former-Victory Gardens out there??
