CDVO MAKES NEEDED GARDENING INFORMATION AVAILABLE: If correct knowledge before the fact is prerequisite to War Gardening success, the Neigborhood War Garden Committee is doing its bit towards making Ann Arbor plots bloom green with vegetables this year. The committee has established a Garden Reading Center in the Armory where would-be-growers can brush up on technical facts before going too far in their plantings. Shown taking advantage of the center's facilities are Mrs. A. K. Stevens (back to camera, scar on head), of S. Marshall Ct; Mrs. F. M. Hull, 1519 Shadford Rd., seated, and Mrs. Oscar Boehnke, 1503 Linwood Ave., standing at end of table. Behind the table dispensing the information and literature are Mrs. A. S. Whitney and Mrs. Raleigh Schorling.

Sergeant M. G. "Red" Howard in front of a Victory Garden, June 1943 Photographer: Eck Stanger
Year:
1943
Published In:
Ann Arbor News, July 3, 1943
Caption:
"Anyone who has seen Sgt. M. G. (Red) Howard directing traffic on a busy Ann Arbor intersection would immediately recognize the above gesture, but the setting might seem strange. "Red" is showing off his garden at 410 W. Washington St., which he says is one of the best "if not the best" in the city. Numerous friends and neighbors who have viewed it are inclined to agree with the veteran police official in his estimate of his plot.

Arbena St. section of Ann Arbor have their gardens located on a five-acre tract of land running along Maple Ridge up to Huron St. Twenty-five gardens are growing in the field which is part of an estate handled by a Detroit firm.

Walker, Bob Creal, Sally Whitfield, Shirley Mesnard (in striped sweater) Nancy Reganall, Mrs. C. O. Creal, Miss O. M. MacArthur and, (at Mr. Whitfield's right), Glen Reganall. This is the second year the tract has been used for neighborhood gardening.
