First Garden

The White House Garden and How It Grew

by Robbin Gourley

This colorful book tells all about the White House grounds and the history of how it has been used by past presidents and first ladies. But the true story is about the kitchen garden that President and Michelle Obama started with the help of fifth grade boys and girls. No beets in this garden -- because the President doesn't like them. But the book details the bee hives and the many vegetables that have been harvested and used by the White House chefs.

Included in this book are the "official recipes" distributed by the White House that showcase their harvests. Kid-friendly and fun to try!
