First Lady Michelle Obama invited students from local elementary schools to help with the fall vegetable harvest in the garden on the South Lawn of the White on Thursday.
According to Concereteloop, The First Lady asked the students how much they thought it cost to plant the garden. They guessed $300, $800, $1000 and $6000 as she acted as auctioneer. She then revealed that, “Over 740 pounds of food have come out of this little piece of land….. It [cost] about $180.” In addition to the White House kitchen preparing the vegetables, they are also being donated to Miriam’s Kitchen, a soup kitchen in D.C.
