White House Kitchen Garden: video

November 9th, 2009 at Mon, 9th, 2009 at 8:55 am by Karen Dale

Last spring, you were probably as thrilled as I to hear that the White House responded to suggestions to put in a kitchen garden.

Wondering how it went, I googled “White House Kitchen Garden” and, after a bit of searching within the White House web site, I found this video. You can WATCH THE GARDEN GROW in a time-lapse sequence about 5/8ths through this 8-minute video. 

What a hoot to hear the First Lady of the land yelling “hey, there’s a carrot!”

(This video is part of the White House pitch to schools to host tours for schoolkids, if you’re confused by the link.)


Karen Dale gardens on the south end of Vashon Island, on a sandy hilltop overlooking Quartermaster Harbor. "Garden On, Vashon" shares what the Island has to teach us about gardening HERE—from making soils to sowing seeds to raising plants to harvest, cooking, preserving, and designing new ways to cultivate your little chunk of Vashon Island.
