Victory Gardens Plans for 1943 Emphasize Community Gardens
George Tomlinson will start plans for the 1943 Victory garden program after county fair exhibits and garden club meetings. He will meet with local Victory garden committees statewide in October to map next year’s extension. An estimated 300000 Victory gardens were planted in Michigan this year, with expectations of growth due to market shortages. Emblems were awarded to registered gardeners by Tomlinson and Michigan Council of Defense representatives during Labor Day events in Owosso Harrisville Boyne City and Charlevoix.
