Victory Gardens & Other Flumageddon Family Projects Linda Harvey, Mission America 
Moms and dads who were worn out from packed schedules and stressful jobs, who longed for more time with their children, are now.....worn out from a houseful of antsy kids and the stress of trying to stay calm, stay positive, keep peace and create constructive activities. So, are you looking for ideas? What home-based projects that don’t cost a fortune can we launch with kids in the next few weeks? Here are my ideas, liberally borrowed from friends and online sources. 1. Victory Garden. I am blessed to have a very creative friend from Omaha, Judy, who shared with me her inspired idea. The president called the fight against the virus a “war” we can win, and that phrase reminded Judy about the victory gardens popular during World War II. She believes victory gardens would provide a teachable moment for children during the current national emergency. If you recall, victory gardens were planted during World War II to provide extra food for households but also as a powerful symbol of hope for a nation dwelling in uncertainty and fighting fear. The idea was, “We will survive, there is a bright future and we are diligently and patiently planning – and planting-- for it.” Judy believes a victory garden transmits an inspiring message to children, plus serves as a way to keep them busy outside, away from the tempting TV babysitter and other questionable screens.
