“They learn so much through their surroundings and the White House Kitchen Garden is a prime example of how children can enjoy the outdoors and learn about healthy eating and living, while also gaining an understanding of the White House and its rich history,” she added. “I was so happy to be able to celebrate healthy living through fun activities with these special children today, and I look forward to future events in the garden.”
