I suggest that part of this proposal should be the appointment of a White House Farmer, to create the Victory Garden on the White House grounds.

What happened to all our comments? I put quite a bit of effort into finding and pasting inlinks to important articles and such, and now they are gone.

I was thinking we could call them "Security Gardens" this time around... as in, food security and national security, since growing more of our own food on a local level will promote both. But Victory Gardens 2.0 is good too:). Let's do it!
