“Victory gardens produced 80 percent of our food during World War II,” Miss Norton said. “So it is possible for us to come together as consumers and make an impact on our food choices.”
The Greenway Table garden was begun last summer by volunteers on city school system property on Parker Street. The garden is a teaching tool for city and Bradley County school students and provides some produce at local markets.
