Campaign pushes for vegetable garden on the First Lawn
In an attempt to green up the next President of the United States, Roger Doiron, founder of Kitchen Gardens International, has started a campaign to get a vegetable garden planted on the White House lawn.
Doiron hopes to convince the next Commander-in-Chief to use even a tiny part of the White House's 19 acres to grow healthy, local food for the First Family to enjoy and help promote that practice for other Americans as well. It worked for Eleanor Roosevelt, who in 1943 started a victory garden on the White House lawn, eventually leading to a movement that led to Americans producing 40 percent of all US produce in their backyards after WWII.
