They say the war garden was "the brain of Charles Lathrop". The National War Garden Commission included members like Luther Burbank, representatives of several major Universities,also the president of the General Federation Of Women's Clubs. The commission have been proven to have a large amount of 30,000,000 World War One soldiers were farmers before they joined the war.They had this garden on a bench that was 30 feet above a river and the solders would plant some fruits and vegetables like carrots, squashes, cabbages, watermealons, muskmealons and more. The garden commission would have these contest that you have to have the best can display for caned vegtables from a war garden. They would have fairs all across the nation.
