Vilsack Planting The People's Garden in DC
New Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack "broke pavement" on a new People's Garden in honor of Abraham Lincoln's 200th birthday on February 12. The garden will be located at the USDA Headquarters in Washington, D.C. Vilsack plans to expand the program to all USDA offices worldwide. It's not a victory garden on the White house lawn, but it's an awfully good start.
The People's Garden will have many conservation minded features and include educational opportunities to learn green gardening practices. The project will extend to planting Embassy window boxes, planting trees and more community gardens at field offices worldwide.
