clipped from: www.huffingtonpost.com The First Lady caught some heat again a few months ago when she planted an organic garden on the White House Lawn, this time from the Crop Life Association, who thought going organic set a bad example . But many of us were inspired by her actions. Thousands of us planted gardens of our own for the first time. Harkening back to the days of Victory Gardens (but not calling it that), it seems that the first lady's garden has given legs to a movement of garden-fresh food, and those who've followed in her footsteps are making an investment in a delicious future.
One of the people who rallied for that garden was IATP Food and Society fellow Roger Doiron of Kitchen Gardeners International, whose Eat the View campaign started at OnDayOne.org, where it quickly rose to the top of the list (and subsequently won). Eventually, the campaign culminated in its own website, eattheview.org.
