Growing Global Gardens
In May 2009, while the First Lady, Michelle Obama was planting the White House Kitchen Garden, I was in Guatemala, building 40 vegetable gardens with women.
$10 is enough to buy seeds for 20 gardens. This weekend seeds were distributed in Mongolia.
We are now expanding the gardens on a global basis. I am taking a group of international women back to Guatemala in June, and am starting a gardens project in Africa.
The pictures you see are the women, distributing the seeds among themselves, and the gardens. This is a self reliance project where we build gardens in each womens home. We do it together as a team and each week tour several gardens to see the fruits of the labor.
