Inside the White House: The Kitchen Garden

First Lady Michelle Obama and White House chef Sam Kass tell the story of the first garden on White House grounds since Eleanor Roosevelt's Victory Garden during World War II. This new garden was planted in the Spring of 2009 with the help of local elementary school children and has yielded a constant supply fresh produce for the First Family and White House events.

I love this video of the First Lady's garden. She inspired us to grow our own garden this year. I love this First Family so much and both Jacquie and I send them all of our support. I cannot believe some of the negative comments that I am reading here. May God bless our First Family.

I am assuming they did not plant any GMO seeds..sounds like they didn't use any "chemical" fertilizers..good for them..be nice if they were more vocal about it and that he really came through with his campaign promise of having GMO's labeled..

Can they come to my house & help me? I have a black thumb; it's just sad. ;-) Love the work you're doing with nutrition!

People across our America have followed you and your example! Please help them! The Battlefront in the Front Yard," and more. The city of Orlando has ordered a College Park man to get rid of the vegetable garden in his front yard, calling it a code violation. Now the city is threatening up to $500 in fines a day unless they destroy it and plant a grass lawn instead.

Really? On HIS property? Not a homeowners association but the Gov't is telling him he cannot grow veggies?

[Tammy Tolar]

Mrs. President there is a man in Orlando that could realy use your help. Please see the way to find what he and city officials have gone to battle for:) Keep spreading sunshine and Being you!
