In 1941 Lord Woolton, Minister for Food, was determined that the Garden Front would save England: 'Dig for Victory' was the slogan, digging for dinner the reality. With food imports dwindling the number of allotments grew, millions opted to 'Spend an Hour with a Hoe' instead of an hour in a queue, and the upper-classes turned lawns, tennis courts and stately gardens over to agriculture. This is a fully illustrated look at when gardening saved Britain.
