If you have driven down S.W. Huntoon Street past S.W. Warren, you might have looked to your left and noticed a community garden overflowing with produce and plants. Bill Randall wants Topekans to consider the nutritional benefits of a vegetable garden and the importance of urban agriculture. … According to Randall, the garden was first created in 1938 by William Cawker, a former Topeka fire chief. Cawker purchased the land with the intention of building a home but instead built a victory garden as World War II caused food shortages.
