Whitehouse gardens organic?

**W*@aol.com**

LOL! I'd hate to see the historic Rose Garden go or kill the lawn Easter  Egg 
Roll or lose many of the gorgeous trees on those grounds - BUT it would  be 
nice to know the leader of the free world was at least not sucking up our  
scarce resources for the other parts of the grounds that can easily be converted  
to rain gardens with natives, wildflower meadows, and Eastern forests.  
Something tells me the Secret Service wants free-and-clear sight-lines  though.

And  while we're at it, let's find out how much water and chemicals (I'd love
to  think it was organic, but that's a pipe-dream for a future
administration)  are used on the White House gardens. With a $3 trillion
plus budget, every  penny that could be saved.......Go for edible
landscaping,  low  maintenance, and native plants.  Just think how many
people that  garden could feed!!
