Tuesday, April 8th from 6:30 until 7:45 p.m. in the Oswald Building Auditorium, Cooper Campus.
Dr. John Walker, Biologist at UK, will speak about the World War II Victory Gardens and their applicability today.
During WWII, in the face of food and other scarcities, Lexington joined towns and cities across the country in growing food in community and backyard gardens. The Victory Gardens were a source of pride and a way to help “win the peace” on the homefront.
Video presentation at approximately 7:50 p.m.:
At the conclusion of Dr. Walker’s presentation, there will be a 5 minute break, followed by a showing of the 50-minute video entitled Victory Gardens of World War II. Anyone who is interested is invited to hear Dr. Walker’s talk and/or watch the video.
