This viewpoint examines citizen empowerment by gardening in times of crisis, namely, the adoption of the idea of Victory Gardens as a means of resistance to COVID-19. Fear of the collapse of the Canadian food chain supply at the beginning of the pandemic led to an increase in urban gardening. The government-created Victory Garden program of the Second World War urged citizens to contribute to the war effort by growing their own food. Social media use of hashtags associated with victory gardening are shown as citizen engagement or intent to engage with local gardening programs and home food production. While a scaled-down victory garden-like program might see a resurgence in urban geographies, if local planning policies and government-led community gardening efforts supported growth in this area.

流行病胜利花园：当地土地使用政策的潜力


这一观点探讨了危机时期通过园艺赋予公民权力，即采用胜利花园的理念作为抵抗 COVID-19 的手段。大流行之初对加拿大食物链供应崩溃的担忧导致城市园艺的增加。政府在第二次世界大战期间创建的胜利花园计划敦促公民通过种植自己的食物为战争做出贡献。社交媒体使用与胜利园艺相关的标签被视为公民参与或有意参与当地园艺计划和家庭食品生产。如果地方规划政策和政府主导的社区园艺工作支持该地区的增长，虽然规模缩小的胜利花园式计划可能会在城市地区复苏。
