Victory Gardens

WW II Propaganda Posters

It has been a trying and exhausting time, with many daily activities cancelled, but gardening is not cancelled. The spring flowers are blooming, the trees are bursting forth with their buds and soon it will be time to start planting our vegetable gardens.

Growing your own food can be one of the most rewarding experiences you can have and share. It is easy, doesn’t take a lot of money or a lot of room, and everyone can be successful.

Victory Garden posters encouraged everyone to grow their own food so commercial growers could provide food to the troops. In addition, trucks and shipments were focused on the war effort, so everyone was encouraged to grow more of their food closer to their homes.

In 1943, over 40% of all fruits and vegetables grown in the U.S. were grown in-home and community victory gardens.

Now is our time. We can grow gardens that will sustain us, help sustain the environment and celebrate our own Victory over these dark days.

This collection of posters are reproductions of Victory Garden posters. Each poster is an unframed 11” x 14” fine art print, produced with archival inks on high quality photo paper.
