Michelle Obama started her own garden, which is the
biggest White House kitchen garden so far, when her
daughters Malia and Sasha were not receiving nutritious
meals. They had been eating out a lot and the family's
pediatrician recommended a diet change. This was revealed
in Michelle Obama's book entitled "American Grown: The
story of the White House Kitchen Garden".
This year, the kitchen garden, as it is called, for the first
time included orange sweet potato, a root vegetable that is
rich in vitamin A that most Nigerians and Africans are
conversant with. The sweet potato was chosen to highlight
its role in improving the nutrition and health of millions of
children and women throughout Sub-Saharan Africa by
providing this essential nutrient.
Under First Lady Michelle Obama, the White House kitchen
garden has been expanded and reinvigorated to include a
wide range of herbs, fruits, and vegetables. It serves to
educate people, especially children, on the importance of
good nutrition and the role that vegetables and fruits can
play in improving health. The sweet potatoes that were
planted in the garden were provided by North Carolina
State University (NCSU) and include Covington, a variety
developed at NCSU, and Beauregard, a variety developed at
Louisiana State University.
