American Grown
The Story of the White House Kitchen Garden and Gardens Across America
The White House garden as a way into a bigger argument about food, health and how communities feed themselves
Ostensibly the story of the vegetable garden Obama planted on the White House lawn, this is really a book about food: where it comes from, who has access to good food and who does not, and how communities can feed themselves better. It follows the garden through the seasons, gathers stories from growers across the country, and connects a small plot in Washington to a national conversation about health.
