With interest in home gardens at the highest its been in decades, this lecture will take us back to another time when national interest was focused on household agriculture-the victory gardens of the second World War.

The program is co-sponsored by the Goleta Valley Historical Society, and will take place in the History Education Center, located adjacent to the Stow House at 304 N. Los Carneros Road in Goleta. A tour of the Stow House and gardens and a wine-and-cheese reception will follow Hayden-Smith's talk. The cost is $12 for History Associates and Historical Society members, and $15 for all others.
