McHenry County Victory Garden
During World War I every resource in the nation went to the war movement. Trains and trucks that were normally used in food transportation was needed for war production and transportation. Europeans were starving and fears of the same happening here caused the creation of the Nation War Garden Commission, the commission's job was to increase the Nations food resources. Read more .
In an effort to raise awareness of the Country's dedication to past war efforts and the lack of fresh foods at our local community food pantries, the McHenry County Historic Preservation Commission has established a series of local gardens or "Victory Gardens" across the County. One of the gardens, the McHenry County Government Victory Garden is managed by volunteers, some of which are County employees. The food that is harvested from the McHenry County Government Victory Garden is donated to the Woodstock Food Pantry. Click here for photos of the McHenry County Government Victory Garden.
For more information about Victory Gardens, please visit the McHenry County Historical Preservation Commission web page.
