Did you put in a garden this summer ?? During World War I, posters like the one above encouraged young people to join the United States Garden Army—a program that promoted sustainable gardens in suburban and urban communities. ?
Between 1917 and 1919, millions of American children "enlisted" in the U.S. Garden Army, converting their yards, empty lots, and other vacant spaces into gardens so that they could do their part to support the nation's war effort. Per a common slogan at the time, “Food will win the war.” ?? President Woodrow Wilson was a vocal supporter of the program, and money from the Department of Defense was used to fund it. To encourage even more young people to join, the U.S. government promoted school gardens in a series of short stories published in newspapers around the country. The series “The Stories the Dewdrops Told” educated children about gardens, food conservation, and food preservation. Follow the link in our bio to learn more about the stars of the short stories—the Dewdrop Fairies. ?
