White House

An Organic Farm for the White House Lawn?


The headquarters of the White House Organic Farm Project is a yellow school bus. It has a second school bus -- turned upside down -- on its roof that's filled with dirt and is growing food. This odd bus is criss-crossing the country in the hope of inspiring the next president to turn the White House lawn into a vegetable garden. Here's the thinking behind the project, the brainchild of Daniel Bowman Simon, 28, and Casey Gustowarow, 27:

If we can show the president that we can grow some good food anywhere and everywhere against all odds -- 60 miles-an-hour wind gusts along the highway; changing climate zones -- one day we're in the desert, one day we're in the mountains -- why not try it again at the White House too?

Again? That's right, again.
