A
photograph
of
Mrs
.
J.H
.
Matthews
showing
off
a
sampling
of her
Victory
Garden
produce
and
canned
goods
. She
won
fourteen
ribbons
at the
Tennessee
State
Fair
War
Exhibition
and was
very
active
in the
Victory
Garden
Association
,
demonstrating
to
homes
the
proper
way
to
successfully
set
up
your
own
garden
.
During
World
War
I
,
Americans
were
encouraged
to
grow
their
own
produce
in a
private
garden
in
order
to
leave
a
larger
supply
of
commercially
mass
produced
food
available
for the
troops
overseas
. This
home
front
effort
resulted
not
only
in a
savings
for the
War
Department
, but also as an
at-home
morale
booster
.
Gardeners
could
feel
empowered
by their
contribution
of
labor
and
rewarded
by the
produce
grown
in their
civic
gardens
.
