A green and pleasant land : how England's gardeners fought the Second World War
Buchan, Ursula2014
Book
'War is the normal occupation of man - war and gardening', said Winston Churchill, Britain's great wartime Prime Minister. And so it was that during the Second World War these two strands of national life - war and gardening - became tightly intertwined. In 'A Green and Pleasant Land', Ursula Buchan tells the intriguing and inspiring story of how the British government encouraged and cajoled its citizens to contribute to the war effort by growing their own fruit and vegetables.
