This is a super cool video. I particularly like how it is framed as a "message to the next president of the United States." From GoGreenTube.

Edible Lawn

Better than the Easter Egg Roll

tags: The U.S. Image in the World, Edible Lawn, Locavores, sustainable, Vegetable Garden

As a child, I participated in the Easter Egg Roll on the White House Lawn, (Eisenhower Administration). As an adult, I put away childish things...... & would like to see the next President & Spouse have an edible lawn. If, indeed, form follows function, it would be infinitely more beautiful. Let's return to Mr. Jefferson's & Mr. Adams use of the White House Grounds. Yes, we can ! The White House chef would be so grateful. We could hold our heads high at state dinners.
