There's a section in the BackyardChickens forum on organizing communities to work to change zoning laws: http://www.backyardchickens.com/f/37...to-change-them


American Memory has several great photos and posters: http://memory.loc.gov

Do a search for "victory Garden" for wwII or "war garden" for wwI. "community garden" pulls up a lot also. Do put the search in quotes " " .



Though not specifically war effort (though many are), they do shine a light on the power of local and community organization.

They do make good garden journal / notebook covers.....

And screen saver slide shows.....

Check state and regional newspapers, many have been digitizing their archives and most of them aren't in the American Memory site... (sorry )

Well actually i'm wallpapering one wall of my office with these posters.
A collection in a binder on the coffee table would be a good conversation starter.
