As we were putting this new 2012 catalog together, we happened to refer to it and found in it a few newspaper articles from the New York Times. Here is an excerpt from an article dated, Sunday, April 20, 1975. “Not since the Victory Garden era of the forties has there been such overwhelming national interest in vegetable gardening. Civic organizations, schools and garden clubs are sponsoring supervised community gardens for those who do not have suitable growing areas. Individuals for whom gardening is a new adventure will be trying their hands at small backyard gardens to reduce their market basket costs.” Wow! How does two generations of time pass and we are right back at the same place? Maybe this time a global shift will happen Cindy and Stephen Scott and move forward for another generation or two. Some great ideas came out of the Back to the Land Movement of the 1970s, but now we need to make sure Back to the Garden lasts and lasts.
