The following story is an audio report of the first harvest in the garden that local Washington, D.C., students are helping with on the south lawn of the White House. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=105490054
You can see more images at the White House website.
This is the first garden at the White House--a good model for kids and their schools--since the victory garden days under Eleanor Roosevelt.
Much of the reported benefits for the kids remind me of the wonderful program, the Edible Schoolyard, started by Alice Waters.
