First Lady Replants White House Garden

First lady Michelle Obama is welcoming spring
to the White House by replanting her popular vegetable garden with
the help of local elementary school students.
Mrs. Obama told the students that the garden grew food last year
that fed many people and that it started a national conversation
about healthy eating.
She told the students that no matter where people live or how
old they may be, they can still garden. She said it's fun digging
around in the dirt.
To illustrate that point, the first lady knelt in the garden and
planted two rows of broccoli as well as some rhubarb.
Joining Mrs. Obama were Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack,
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and White
House chefs.
