During WWI and WWII, Victory Gardens were a part of daily life on the home front in many countries. Planted in both private residences and public parks, Victory Gardens were vegetable, fruit and herb gardens meant to reduce pressure on the public food supply. In this episode, Stefan van Norden and Sean Clauson visit the Victory Gardens in Philadelphia, PA and talk with some of its members about what and why they garden, and the benefits that go with it.
