With grocery prices surging due to new tariffs, Americans are increasingly turning to budget-friendly solutions like victory gardens. Content creator Kendall Brown advocates for this practice, sharing tips through TikTok to help others save on food. She highlights the historical significance of victory gardens during tough economic times while addressing current economic indicators, emphasizing the importance of starting small and cultivating frequently used vegetables. This approach promotes self-sufficiency and reflects a cultural shift towards traditional homemaking.
"I think there's a lot of signs that we could be headed into similar dire economic straits," said Brown, referring to the stories she heard from her grandparents, who lived during the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl.
"I also always encourage people to start small," said Brown, advising new gardeners to identify their nutritional needs and available space.
The practice has become popular again amid a vibecession and the romanticization of trad wife culture - a lifestyle that promotes traditional roles for women in the home.
Her videos offering tips for growing your own produce at home have garnered over 1.8 million views on TikTok.
