THE HERB GARDEN 
An Herb Garden is a necessary part of every Victory Garden. The use of Herbs 
increases the variety of dishes we can create from the limited varieties of foods we can 
buy. Soups, salads, meats, and vegetables are all made more interesting and more 
tasty by the addition of Herbs. Many home-canned foods demand the use of Herbs. 
A corner of the garden planted to Herbs will add interest and variety to your table.
