Mission: To facilitate a massive
“Thank You Michelle Obama for
Planting the White House Kitchen
Garden campaign.” We need letters
from young people (and people
young-at-heart) who appreciate
the First Lady’s commitment to
healthy food and healthy citizens!

More info at: TheWhoFarm’s Thank You Michelle Obama Project.

Check out how the White House organic garden is growing:

The White House Organic Garden
Michelle Obama dug up a patch of the South Lawn to plant a vegetable garden, the first at the White House since Eleanor Roosevelt’s victory garden in World War II. There will be no beets – the president does not like them – but arugula will make the cut.

You’ve heard of the Victory Gardens and rationing during WWII and how vegetables grown at home helped families and the war effort. Now, amidst a bleak economy and mechanized, nutrient and soil depleting agribusiness, many people are thinking about growing some of their own veggies but are unsure of how to get started. This site aims to be an inspired guide to resources in starting and maintaining a bountiful organic garden for any level of grower throughout the year.
