Obama

I'm not sure how many of you remember this far back but... At the end of the summer I posted a blog about a new campaign to turn part of the White House lawn into a Victory Garden. It is official, they're actually doing it! The New York Times posted this article yesterday about the future groundbreaking.

New praise from Michelle Obama reminds us that community gardens have become officially mainstream (and unofficially awesome).

During a visit to the Agriculture Department, Michelle praised plants saying:

"I’m a big believer in community gardens both because of their beauty and for providing access to fresh fruits and vegetables to so many communities across the nation and the world." --Associated Press
