The idea of getting the new President to convert some of the White House Lawn back to an edible or Victory Garden has been simmering for months now. Today, the Washington Post ran an interesting historical piece on edible gardening at the White House, complete with some great photos. Read more here. The idea of growing food at the White House is not new. And what better place to set a national, if not international example, of sustainable, edible self-sufficiency? Why not use the property owned by Americans to teach Americans that they can grow food on their property and reduce the need for lawn along the way!?
And, you can join the campaign to to encourage the lawn conversion here. Do it fast! There are just over 4 days left to sign the campaign petition.

Great Idea! I’m going to post a link on several sites I’m part of. This is something that should happen.
This is awesome.
