Protect your Gardens from Deer this Winter!!!!

When the frosty kiss of Autumn
in the dark
Makes its mark
On the flowers, and the misty morning grieves
Over fallen leaves;
Then my olden garden, where the golden soil
Through the toil
Of a hundred years is mellow, rich, and deep,
Whispers in its sleep.
-Henry Van Dyke

Benner's Gardens Deer Fence protects your Recession Garden!

During WW2, as the effects of the War began to take its toll on the food and supplies on the Home Front, government inflicted rationing provoked people to look to their own self-sufficiency to discover ways to show their patriotism and contribute to the War effort. Inspired by the efforts of horticulturalist Charles Lathrop Pack who, in 1917, pioneered the concept of “War Gardens” to help the Home Front feed and support the Cause, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt decided to plant a sizeable garden on the White House lawn. She referred to her effort as a “Victory Garden” because she believed that, through community support and combined patriotic effort, the Home Front could help to “feed the troops to victory”. Her insight was proven true when by the end of WWII, in 1945, these community “Victory Gardens” were supplying 40% of the produce consumed in America!

Now, decades later, the same plot of land that was once tended by First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, is now being dug up again by a White House First Lady. As Michelle Obama breaks ground and begins preparations for her own “Victory Garden”, history is again repeating itself as universal excitement for this endeavor is swiftly spreading. With the fluctuating economy as the primary motivation and the importance of healthy, sound nutrition coming in a close second, Americans are adapting the example of the our First Lady and scrambling to start “Victory Gardens” of their own, dubbing them with the modern name of “Recession Gardens”.

Within the past few months since the First Lady began here “Recession Garden” endeavor, hundreds of townships, organizations, schools, churches, and communities, have broken ground for community garden projects of their own. Most of these garden projects hope to donate the fruits of their labors to local food banks, the underemployed, and the unemployed.

As self-sufficiency and cooperation are quickly become the popular trends, Benners Gardens is getting caught up in the whirlwind as well. The recent influx of “Recession Gardens” has spurred a fear that these gardens, if not properly protected by the confines of a fence, will be hastily destroyed by hungry deer before they have time to prosper. Benners Gardens helps out this reputable cause by their willingness to discount and donate sizable quantities of fence to communities all across the United States!
