Park Seed Garden Journal

We've mentioned them before: the
gardens
grown during WWI and WWII intended to loosen the demand on the public
food supply. They have recently become popular again – with the
economic slump budgets are tightening all over the country. People are
realizing that growing your own food is a great way to save a
noticeable amount of money every month.

I found this video (below) created by the US Department of Agriculture
promoting the idea of Victory Gardens in the 40s. Even though this is
an old idea,
there are many modern benefits to growing your own food.

• Saving money is probably as popular now as it ever was.
• Growing
  your own food is inherently good for the environment: less packaging,
  lower impact on ecosystems, and, if you are an organic gardener, your
  practices will be much cleaner than many commercial farms.
• It's safer – you will never have to worry about food recalls
  or guess at how your food is being treated before it gets to your table.
