Activity grow your own food
The Imperial War Museum is hosting a
free wartime farm on 12-15 and
19-22 August at its grounds in
London. It is part of the current
exhibition, The Ministry of Food,
which is all about how people ate in
Britain during the second world war.
At the farm you will be able to pet
animals that would have been kept in
gardens in the 1940s, and learn how to
look after them. Land girls will also be
on hand to give advice about growing
your own food, which is popular
again today, and a good way
to do your bit to help the
environment.
