The White House Garden

This new garden was planted in the Spring of 2009 with the help of local elementary school children and yields a constant supply fresh produce for the First Family and White House events.

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.

Feel inspired!
