Crockett's Victory Garden

15 years ago

Hello! I'm leading a campaign to get WGBH Studios in Boston, Massachusetts to transfer the original Crockett's Victory Garden with James Underwood Crockett onto DVD. The original series is preserved in the archives section at WGBH but only on 2" video tape. Would you help me act preserve this wonderful series in DVD format? James Underwood Crockett had the special ability to inspire all of us (future gardeners too -- like our 19 mo old daughter!) to keep the wonder of gardening alive. Only with your help can future generations benefit from this special series. Im at lyndon.watson@paradise.net.nz and would love to hear from you. I'll try to answer all emails.

That's a brilliant idea. I grew up in southeastern MA and watched Crockett's Victory Garden every week. He inspired me to beg my parents to allow me to dig up a bit of lawn and plant my first garden.
