Answer:

Victory gardens were also known as war gardens. The idea of a victory garden was promoted by George Washington. During world war one and two fruits, vegetables and herbs were planted at parks and private residences in the US, Canada, Germany and Australia so that the product could be used to reduce the pressure on public food supply. They acted as a morale booster and helped the war effort and were part of daily life during the war. Victory gardens were popular in Canada in 1917 and led to the large production of beets, potatoes, and cabbage. While in US the gardens were part of a propaganda to conserve food.
