Last week I posted about Goddess Gardens and Victory Gardens. I included an inspiring video about turning lawns into edible gardens and also encouraged the White House to add a garden also.
It has been recently reported that Michele Obama has planted a wonderful 1,100 organic garden on the lawn of the White House Lawn and it will be visible from E-street. The garden not only has veggies, but bees too.
Excerpt: “The Obamas will feed their love of Mexican food with cilantro, tomatilloes and hot peppers. Lettuces will include red romaine, green oak leaf, butterhead, red leaf and galactic. There will be spinach, chard, collards and black kale. For desserts, there will be a patch of berries. And herbs will include some more unusual varieties, like anise hyssop and Thai basil. A White House carpenter who is a beekeeper will tend two hives for honey.”
All I can is, “awesome!” I’m a huge supporter of President and Mrs. Obama, and by adding an organic edible garden to the White House lawn is like the icing on the cake It is so very cool and hopefully inspiring to others to also take up gardening and grow some of their own food.
Bright blessings, Lady Rose

That garden will bring lots of love into the whitehouse and hopefully make our first family stronger. it will also inspire many others to till the soil and reap the bounty for their families and communities.

I too have an organic garden and find it to be very fulfilling. I am very encouraged by this show of support for both the environment and everyday people.
