Garden Party~ With First Lady Michelle

[sheshe2]

First lady Michelle Obama offers a sniff of fennel to a student from Sarah Moore Greene Magnet Technology Academy in Knox County, Tennessee, while harvesting and cooking vegetables from the White House Kitchen Garden. The first lady was joined by students from Somerville, Massachusettes, Knox County, Tennessee, Milton, Vermont, Washington, DC and Union Beach and Ship Bottom, New Jersey.

The kids who harvested got to see Marine 1 land. They were super excited and POTUS shook each one of their hands! pic.twitter.com/9IBRaH7jJP

20. Great pic! And the garden pix are great, sheshe! Wish I was there.

I've never really had much of anyone to share my love of gardening with. Those kids are so blessed to be able to learn about bringing life with Michelle.

21. First Lady say's the wheat crop is growing like Gangbusters!

I am glad you like gardening, freshwest. It does bring a sense of peace does it not. And the beauty of it's bounty, a joy is breathtaking.

I am glad that Flotus has this in her life now, she can enjoy the freshness of it to relieve the pressures of DC.

22. Beautiful garden boxes.... I've been amending my clay like soil for a few years with my

own compost and it's getting better, but I've still got a ways to go before it's the way I want it....
