Really? First lady does some gardening in White House kitchen garden [View all]
WASHINGTON — First lady Melania Trump, gardener.
The former model and Manhattanite traded her stilettos for sneakers Friday to plant, harvest and wash vegetables in the White House kitchen garden with help from local children.
"I'm a big believer in healthy eating because it reflects on your mind and your body. I encourage you to eat a lot of vegetables and fruit so you grow up healthy," she told about a dozen members of the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Washington. "It is very important."
The red plaid shirt, jeans and sneaker-wearing first lady was venturing out into the South Lawn garden made famous by her predecessor, Michelle Obama, as part of her "Let's Move!" campaign against childhood obesity. Mrs. Trump had said she intends to keep the garden going. Bursting with colorful vegetables and herbs, it's tended by the National Park Service. About 17 percent of children ages 2 to 19 are obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
But even as Mrs. Trump echoed her predecessor's message, President Donald Trump's administration has taken the opposite tack in some way.
