<P> Victory gardens , also called war gardens or food gardens for defense , were vegetable , fruit , and herb gardens planted at private residences and public parks in the United States , United Kingdom , Canada , Australia and Germany during World War I and World War II . George Washington Carver wrote an agricultural tract and promoted the idea of what he called a `` Victory Garden '' . They were used along with Rationing Stamps and Cards to reduce pressure on the public food supply . Besides indirectly aiding the war effort , these gardens were also considered a civil `` morale booster '' in that gardeners could feel empowered by their contribution of labor and rewarded by the produce grown . This made victory gardens a part of daily life on the home front . </P>
