The Victory Garden is an American public television program about gardening and other outdoor activities, produced by station WGBH in Boston, Massachusetts, and distributed by PBS. It is the oldest gardening program produced for television in the United States, premiering April 16, 1975.[citation needed]

The show was originally called Crockett's Victory Garden for its first host, James Underwood Crockett. During the 1979-80 gardening season Bob Thomson took over as host and the show was renamed "The Victory Garden."
