Donald kept a very active greenhouse at his Kerrisdale, Vancouver home on East Boulevard and was one of the original World War II "Victory Garden" creators in the 1940's where he tended a second garden next to the railway tracks across the road from his home on the Boulevard. Donald even tunneled underneath the road to run a water line to keep not only his, but his neighbour's Victory Gardens watered.
