HUH? WHAT'S A KITCHEN GARDEN?
A kitchen garden is a garden that grows food for your family to eat. People have been doing it for a long time -- it was particularly popular during World War I and during World War II, when food was more scarce and First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt planted what was then called a "Victory Garden."
But it doesn't have to be done just in wartime! Kitchen gardens save families lots of money and cut down on the huge carbon footprint created by the way we eat. (Just think about how far your Florida oranges, Georgia peaches or Washington apples must travel, for example.)
Now, First Lady Michelle Obama has taken the initiative and planted a kitchen garden at the White House. Here are a few tips to get you on the same track as Michelle! And here are some more tips from a great book about starting your kitchen garden if you don't have much space. Everybody's doing it!
