Abstract
Unlike European gardens, America's activities can more accurately be described as 'movements'. The author has identified seven periods from 1894 to the present: potato patches; school gardens; garden city plots; liberty gardens; relief gardens; victory gardens; and community gardens. These movements are described, and each has been promoted by reformers as palliative measures to help society adjust to living under stressful social or economic conditions. -from Author
