First Locavores Get To Work!

First Lady Michelle Obama and local students recently broke ground on the White House Kitchen Garden, the first vegetable garden at the White House since Eleanor Roosevelt's garden. The produce will be served at the White House and extra produce will be donated to Miriam's Kitchen, a local resource for the city's homeless population. So what's growing in the White House Kitchen Garden? Go to the White House Blog to see a detailed diagram. There's lots of spinach, peas, lettuce, broccoli and herbs. Did you get a plot for the Cheverly Vegetable Gardens? Do you have extra space in your yard? A little yard, but some space for container gardening? We encourage our Cheverly Community Market friends to grow their food (and, of course, supplement your bounty with beautiful fresh produce, seafood, meat, breads and other wonderful products from the Cheverly Community Market!)
