Description
Class Experience
In this 75 minute course students will dive into the history on the creation of a victory garden, their implementation and the amounts of food they produced. Covered will be the uses of the vegetables as well as the home preservation techniques used of the time. Students will be encouraged to create their own victory garden from the foods their families eat at home. Likewise, students will explore what a victory garden in Texas in 1942 may have looked like to that of one in Maine! Students...
