Reviews
recommended --<i>Choice</i>; excellent book --<i>Chicago Botanic Garden</i>; Rose Hayden-Smith has done us a great service in researching a history that has been hidden in plain sight, right beneath our feet. This book is a great place to start for anyone interested in the U.S. gardening movement, not just for historical interest but because it's a subject, as her treatment of gender shows, that couldn't be more relevant today. --Raj Patel, author; With this landmark book, Rose Hayden-Smith has kept the American food movement from suffering a sort of amnesia that could cripple current and future initiatives if we persisted with our lack of familiarity with our precedents. Instead, this wonderfully written retrospective actually opens doors for gardeners, food activists and food security planners so that we might build upon the remarkable Victory Garden legacy she has so passionately described. --Gary Paulk Nabhan, author.
