The Garden of Eatin': A Short History of America's Garden

White House Victory Garden Petition

We, the undersigned, are petitioning President Barack and First Lady Michelle Obama to plant a large organic food garden or Victory Garden on the First Lawn with the produce going to the White House kitchen and local food pantries. The White House is "America's House" and should serve as a model at a time of economic and environmental crisis.

In planting this garden, the Obamas would not be breaking with tradition, but returning to it (the White House has had food gardens before) and leading by personal example on global challenges such as economic security, food security, climate change, healthcare policy and energy independence.

(Privacy statement: Your e-mail address will not be shared with any third parties. The petition will be delivered with a collection of heirloom seed packets to the Obamas.)
