Obama' s Organic garden in the american White House south lawn

Et oui je salue l' initiative exemplaire des Obama de planter un jardin biologique à la maison blanche !

“A real delicious heirloom tomato is one of the sweetest things that you’ll ever eat,” she said. “And my children know the difference, and that’s how I’ve been able to get them to try different things.

“I wanted to be able to bring what I learned to a broader base of people. And what better way to do it than to plant a vegetable garden in the South Lawn of the White House?”
