American Grown: The
Story of the White House Kitchen Garden and Gardens Across America (2012).
By Michelle Obama.
Published by Crown.
1st edition.
Hardcover.
ISBN-10: 0307956024
ISBN-13: 978-0307956026
Description:
The former First Lady,
author of Becoming, and producer and star of Waffles + Mochi
tells the inspirational story of the White House Kitchen Garden and how
gardens can transform our lives and the health of our communities.
Early in her tenure as
First Lady, despite being a novice gardener, Michelle Obama planted a kitchen
garden on the White House’s South Lawn. To her delight, she watched as fresh
vegetables, fruit, and herbs sprouted from the ground. Soon the White House Kitchen
Garden inspired a new conversation all across the country about the food we
feed our families and the impact it has on the nutrition and well-being of our
children.
In American Grown,
Mrs. Obama invites you inside the White House Kitchen Garden, from the first
planting to the satisfaction of the seasonal harvest. She reveals her early
worries and struggles – would the new plants even grow? – and her joy as
lettuce, corn, tomatoes, collards and kale, sweet potatoes and rhubarb
flourished in the freshly tilled soil. She shares the stories of other gardens
that have moved and inspired her on her journey across the nation.
And she
offers what she learned about planting your own backyard, school, or community
garden.
American Grown features:
A behind-the-scenes look
at every season of the garden’s growth.
Unique recipes created
by White House chefs.
Striking original
photographs that bring the White House garden to life.
A fascinating history of
community gardens in the United States.
From
a modern-day vegetable truck that brings fresh produce to underserved
communities in Chicago, to Houston office workers who make the sidewalk bloom,
to a New York City school that created a scented garden for the visually
impaired, to a garden in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, that devotes its entire
harvest to those less fortunate, American Grown isn’t just the story of
a single garden. It’s a celebration of the bounty of our nation and a reminder
of what we can all grow together.
Lisa Gardner, on reading:
I still read romance,
and I read suspense. I read them both. And part of it is, I like stories with
strong characters, and I like stories where there's closure at the end. And I
like stories where there's hope. That's a kind of empowerment. I think romance
novels are very empowering, and I think suspense novels are, too.
- Lisa Gardner.
