Answer 1

The statement is true. Victory Gardens were gardens of vegetables, fruits and herbs planted in private residences in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom during World War I and World War II to reduce the pressure exerted by the war effort on the food supply for the population. In addition to indirectly helping the war effort, they were also considered a civilian "moral booster" as gardeners could feel useful through their contribution and recognized for the products they brought.
