Invitation -- March 26 -- 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D.C. -- Garden event

First Lady Invites Children from Across the Country to White House Kitchen Garden Planting

In addition to Washington D.C. students, Mrs. Obama will welcome children from Iowa,
New York, North Carolina and Pennsylvania who wrote her letters about their gardens

On Monday, March 26 at 2:15 p.m., First Lady Michelle Obama will welcome school children from across the country to join her for the fourth annual White House Kitchen Garden spring planting. In 2009, Mrs. Obama planted the White House Kitchen Garden – the first vegetable garden at the White House since Eleanor Roosevelt’s Victory Garden – as a way to start a conversation about the health of our nation’s children. From the beginning, Mrs. Obama has included local school children in the planting and harvesting of the garden and this year has also invited children from across the country who wrote to her about their own gardening experiences.
