Harrison Street Community Garden
| Children working in an urban community garden. Original caption reads: "Scene in Harrison Street Community Garden showing each plot staked off. Up to 1917 this was a dumping ground and an eyesore to the community. The Garden Campaign turned it into usefulness and a place for the children to spend their time doing something worth while." A sign in the foreground reads: "Honor the flag! Protecting this garden, as a part of the food supply of the nation; the Garden Bureau of Chicago." |
