Obama's Garden and National Garden Month
Bloggers greeted the Obamas' upcoming vegetable garden at the White House with enthusiasm. And now April is National Garden Month, and the National Gardening Association has lots of resources and articles on their site, including 10 Ways to Be Green This National Garden Month and Reduce Your Bills By Growing Your Own Food. The One Million Gardens campaign lets you add your garden, pictures, and videos and you can sign up to get free heirloom seeds here. If you are new to gardening, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette recently wrote about the best new garden blogs that have been "popping up like crocuses on the Internet, transforming garden writing in the process.... the new garden blogs are livelier, quirkier and more passionate, reflecting the myriad voices of gardeners across North America." Garden Rant, for example, is "In love with real, rambling, chaotic, dirty, bug-ridden gardens" and points to the Urban Garden Project, whose goal is to "encourage and catalog the creation of 100,000 urban gardens by 2020." Will you sign on for one of these gardening projects? Let us know in the comments.
