  The Victory Garden initiative during the world wars  got urban dwellers in the United States, Canada and Europe to transform all available city land into vegetable gardens. Parks, front lawns, back yards, city fields,  rooftops, even tennis courts generated produce to help with the war effort. These were some of the posters used.
