New video on the White House kitchen garden on YouTube and at WhiteHouse.gov

**R* D* <r*@kitchengardeners.org>**

 The White House has posted a new 7-minute video telling the story of the
planting of the new garden.  Inspiring stuff!

By the way, I'm going to visit the garden next week along with some of the
other FAS fellows and will be bringing the 110,000+ petition signatures and
thank yous we collected in the course of our 14-month "Eat the View"
campaign.  I'm going to print them on recycled paper and ask that Chef Sam
Kass toss them onto the "First Compost Pile" so that we can literally become
part of the garden we helped plant.  There's no guarantee he'll do it, but
I'm hoping the symbolism will be too much for him to refuse.

We've kept our White House garden petition open on facebook causes for
people who might have missed it during the campaign but still want to show
their thanks:

For the non-Facebook crowd, we have another thank you form set up here:

Best wishes,
