First Lady Michelle Obama gathers with local school children to break ground for the White House Kitchen Garden on the South Lawn.
Thank you Michelle!
According to the NYTimes, Michelle Obama will be installing a vegetable garden on the White House lawn.
While the organic garden will provide food for the first family’s meals and formal dinners, its most important role, Mrs. Obama said, will be to educate children about healthful, locally grown fruit and vegetables at time when obesity has become a national concern.
The first lady herself said:
“My hope is that through children, they will begin to educate their families and that will, in turn, begin to educate our communities.”
Let’s all follow her lead and start food gardens of our own. The time is right. The White House has a garden. Let’s all get behind this movement.
POP farming can recreate the Obama’s garden in your own backyard. They have published their garden plan and fortunately everything they are growing will also thrive in our environment here in Portland. Drop us a note and we’ll help you install a garden fit for the President of the United States.
Looks like the White House kitchen staff could use some help from POP Farming!
