Purchase options and add-ons

In April 2009, First Lady Michelle Obama planted a kitchen garden on the White House’s South Lawn.  As fresh vegetables, fruit, and herbs sprouted from the ground, this 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 health and well-being of our children.  
 
Now, in her first-ever book, American Grown, Mrs. Obama invites you inside the White House Kitchen Garden and shares its inspiring story, from the first planting to the latest harvest.  Hear about her worries as a novice gardener – would the new plants even grow? Learn about her struggles and her joys as lettuce, corn, tomatoes, collards and kale, sweet potatoes and rhubarb flourished in the freshly tilled soil.  Get an unprecedented behind-the-scenes look at every season of the garden’s growth, with striking original photographs that bring its story to life.  Try the unique recipes created by White House chefs and made with ingredients just picked from the White House garden.  And learn from the White House Garden team about how you can help plant your own backyard, school or community garden.  
 
Mrs. Obama’s journey continues across the nation as she shares the stories of other gardens that have moved and inspired her: Houston office workers who make the sidewalk bloom; a New York City School that created a scented garden for the visually impaired; a North Carolina garden that devotes its entire harvest to those in need; and other stories of communities that are transforming the lives and health of their citizens.  
 
In American Grown, Mrs. Obama tells the story of the White House Kitchen Garden, celebrates the bounty of gardens across our nation, and reminds us all of what we can grow together.

Great book, lots of information and lots of pictures. Note - this is not a "How to Garden" book, instead its a factual account of the Whitehouse allotment and a look at local production that has been inspired.

American Grown: The Story of the White House Kitchen Garden and Gardens Across America She has really created a treasure. This is an inspiring book of stories, pics, tips and a bit of history. I love it and my son (10 year old) is so excited that it was written with him in mind. "It feels so good to have someone so important care about us" (per my son about kids in America). My son has no political agenda, nor does this book. She makes no money on this book, but she is very proud of it none the less. I bought it along with a step-by-step how to book on gardening as this is my second year gardening and I am not very good. I knew this book was not a how to gardening book, and I knew it would inspire me. I look forward to using this beautiful book to help me create a garden that will bring my son closer to eating veggies because the only ones he eats right now are the ones I sneak in (thank you Miss Chase Lapine and Jessica Simpson for your sneaky and deceptive books The Sneaky Chef: Simple Strategies for Hiding Healthy Foods in Kids' Favorite Meals   Deceptively Delicious: Simple Secrets to Get Your Kids Eating Good Food ). This book gives me hope for all of the over-weight kids out there that may decide they want a garden, hey, you never know. Benefiting from the fruits of your labor is an awesome message.

5.0 out of 5 stars Words to Potential Gardeners Thinking About Purchasing This Book
Reviewed in the United States on 4 June 2012

I was suspicious that this book would only contain Mrs. Obama's narrative about her experience cultivating the White House Garden.... and yes, a lot of the book is dedicated to fun little stories concerning things like her "Let's Move!" initiative, the history of the White House Garden, and Bo the White House dog.

But I was pleasantly surprised by how much functional gardening information there was! I do not know if first time gardeners could survive on this book alone, but it will definitely get you off on a good start. Probably most inspiring are the pages near the beginning where she lists everything that went wrong in the garden after the first year--I wish I had had that when I first started gardening several years back. And as someone who personally likes absorbing more than enough information, a lot of little details in this book are incredibly illuminating.

And worst come to worst, if you, a first time gardener, decide to never garden ever again, this book is beautiful. Others have said coffee table quality. I will echo those sentiments and add that I am a coffee table connoisseur and this is a beaut: 1) most of the pictures are lovely, nay, divine 2) It's incredibly historical 3) It has recipes that look, and yes, taste delicious 4) It has inspirational snippets from the first lady.
