- Description
Gardening for self-sufficiency and for patriotism was a cause promoted through War Garden projects during World War I. Conceived as a way to increase the supply of food without the use of land already cultivated and the labor of those needed for other wartime occupations, war gardens allowed the average citizen to get involved in the nation's war effort. This flyer, distributed by the freshman biology class at Linden High School, organized school children into gardening teams who could win prizes based on the success of their garden
