– Victory gardens during World War II were private gardens planted by individuals and families to grow vegetables, fruits, and herbs to supplement food rations and support the war effort. These gardens became a significant source of fresh produce, supplying about 40% of the vegetables consumed in the U.S. at the time, while also boosting morale and promoting self-sufficiency among citizens.
