格洛弗公园社区花园协会大约在1939年成立，随后在1942年美国二战时期，它逐渐发展成为一个“胜利花园”。

It became essential for the folks that lived in the area here to grow their own vegetables as they were not able to purchase these things in the grocery store at that time.

我们真的很想尊重这座花园的初衷，它在二战期间曾是一座“胜利花园”。

And we just think that's kind of amazing because it's almost we're using it that way again now with food shortages potentially at the grocery stores.

And we think it's exciting to carry on that tradition for the people that have been here before us and gotten through rough times and to see better days.

我们认为，为那些在我们之前来到这里、度过艰难时期并迎来美好日子的人传承这一传统，是一件令人兴奋的事情。
