gardens

both
to
support
the
war
effort
and
due

food
shortages
and
rationing
. The
gardens
were
promoted
widely
by the
government
and
industry
, and were
known
as "
victory
gardens
"
due
to their
importance
to the
war
effort

called
"
war
gardens
"

the
end
of the
war
,
when
the
term
"
victory
garden
"
came
into
use
