Campbell, Ph.D. Exhibition Gallery Maxine Goodman Levin College of Urban Affairs, Atrium, Glickman-Miller Hall 1717 Euclid Avenue. About the exhibit: A recurring theme in 20th century Cleveland that continues to the present day is that during difficult economic periods communities of people have come together to raise food crops on city land. The working men’s farms during the Great Depression, the victory gardens during World War II, community gardens established during the years of urban renewal, and the present day market gardeners of the local food movement, all provide examples of revivals of urban agriculture as a response to economic difficulties. During this same time period the innovative Cleveland Public Schools Horticulture Program (CPSHP) began training the first of many generations of student gardeners. Although the system-wide CPS horticulture program ended in 1978, some of these former school garden sites called tract gardens became community garden sites. The most significant legacies of the Cleveland Public Schools Horticulture Program were the gardeners themselves. On the commercial front, greater Cleveland was home to America’s largest concentration of farming acreage under glass. The exhibit features images of commercial greenhouses, victory gardens, work relief gardens, community gardens, the Cleveland Public School Horticulture Program as well as images from the New Agrarian Center. This exhibit and the Feeding Cleveland web site was created by Carolyn L. Hufford, M.L.I.S., who researched, collected, selected, digitized and cataloged the resources found there.
