Product Description

Product Description Through telling the story of the White House Kitchen Garden, First Lady Michelle Obama explores how increased access to healthful, affordable food can promote better eating habits and improve health for families and communities across America. Mrs. Obama will describe how Sasha and Malia were the catalysts for change for their family's eating behavior which inspired her national initiative to address childhood obesity and resulted in the idea to plant a vegetable garden on the South Lawn, the first since Eleanor Roosevelt's Victory Garden. American Grown will be inspirational and instructive and will provide ideas for readers to get involved and join the movement to create community gardens, support local farmers markets, create school gardens, and start urban gardens, as well as other ways that they can make small changes to achieve big results and create healthy eating habits. Since entering the White House, Mrs. Obama has emerged as a passiona! te advocate for healthful eating and exercise. In February 2010 she launched Let's Move!, a nationwide initiative to address the epidemic of childhood obesity by empowering parents and caregivers with information, improving food quality in schools, increasing access to healthy, affordable food, and encouraging increased physical activity. American Grown will speak to these issues which Mrs. Obama has strongly advocated for, in particular, making better food choices. It will also include practical ideas, recipes, and resources as well as tips on how to begin a garden of any size, anywhere and how to support local farmers' markets. Filled with gorgeous full-color photography, American Grown will include stunning photos of the White House garden and Mrs. Obama throughout the seasons, as well as other community and school gardens from around the country.

Growing bonsai trees

Product Description

Product Description Bonsai are miniature trees grown in pots. The aim of bonsai culture is to develop a tiny tree that has all the elements of a large tree growing in a natural setting. This look is achieved, principally, by branch and root pruning and shaping, but other factors are also important. The texture of the trunk, its look of age, the moss and the under plantings in the container — all contribute to the illusion of a miniature tree as it is seen in nature. A presentable bonsai can be created in a few seasons. Cultivating these miniature potted trees is both an intriguing hobby, and a means of adapting a wide range of plants to specialized and decorative uses. Bonsai require daily watering during their growing season, and, because the plants are rooted in shallow pots, careful pruning. Bonsai are kept outdoors most of the year, but — from time to time — these miniaturized versions of nature are brought indoors for display. Only certain tropical trees, shrubs, and vi! nes can be continually kept indoors full time as bonsai. Bonsai, as an art form, stems from ancient oriental culture. It originated in China and was developed by the Japanese. In the 13th century, the Japanese collected and potted wild trees that had been dwarfed by nature. These naturally formed miniatures were the first bonsai. When demand for the small trees outstripped the supply, Japanese gardeners began to train bonsai from native trees. They shaped the trees to give them the illusion of age and naturalness. Over the years, the Japanese devised standards of shape and form, which gradually began the classic bonsai styles. American bonsai are much freer in concept and style than Japanese bonsai. American bonsai growers have recognized that the horticultural and aesthetic rules are important, but are specifically aimed at Japanese culture. Because of this, Americans have taken oriental styles and applied them to plants never grown by the Japanese. Therefore, the rigid! procedures and names used by the Japanese are not used in thi! s bulletin.

Product Description New city. New school. Michael is feeling all aloneÂuntil he discovers the school garden! There’s so many ways to learn, and so much work to do. Taste a leaf? Mmm, nice and tangy hot. Dig for bugs? Â"Roly-poly!” he yells. But the garden is much more than activities outdoors: making school garden stone soup, writing Found Poems and solving garden riddles, getting involved in community projects such as Harvest Day, food bank donations, and spring plant sales. Each season creates a new way to learn, explore, discover and make friends.School librarian and gardener Rick Swann, in his picture book debut, describes the wonder of connecting with nature and the joy of growing and eating one’s own harvest. Award-winning artist Christy Hale captures the brilliant color of the season and the harvest. This is the perfect book to read alone, as well as share in the classroom or with the entire family.

Organic Gardening: A natural way to a healthy garden

2009-12-24T05:17:00.000-08:00

Organic gardening is essentially the same old regular gardening but without the use of any synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. However this approach can make fighting the insects, weeds and diseases rather difficult. Additionally, organic gardening also involves being more careful of the plant’s well being and paying close attention to soil. The most important aspect of organic gardening is soil. Soil productivity should be taken care of meticulously and organic material added to it regularly. As a matter of fact, for plants that are grown organically, compost is very essential. Compost may be of dead flowers or leaves, vegetable scraps, grass clippings, fruit rinds, etc. A good, ideal soil looks dark in color and smells sweet and is often full of earthworms. There may be soils for which compost won’t be enough and they would require more of natural additives. These could be rock phosphates, bonemeal, or greensand. The pH balance as well as the requirement of nutrients can be easily gauged by a straightforward soil test. However, there is a thing that can cause even staunch organic gardeners think about pesticides is the sight of insects plaguing their plants. Well, the best way out would be to follow preventive strategy. First of all ensure that the plants are healthy as can be, because they fall prey to insects mostly if they are unhealthy. Also ensure that the plants are neither to wet nor too dry. Probably, inviting insect predators like birds, ladybugs, frogs, etc. to your garden is a good way to keep the insects away from your garden. This can be accomplished if you keep some water source in the vicinity or grow nectar producing plants that may attract certain insects. Other methods include using plant collars, sticky traps, and barriers. Alternatively, certain items of house like garlic, hot pepper, or insecticidal soaps also prevent insects. Plant diseases may also be avoided if you select plants that are disease resistant and take care to plant them in prime conditions. Constant moisture along with bad circulation of air may also be a cause for diseases. So ensure that the plant site and watering regime and methods is well suite to the plant. Organic Mulch can behave as weed barrier, however more enhanced protection can be ensured by putting a newspaper layer or such thing under the mulch. Be persistent if you wish to prevent weed. Make sure you mulch well and thereafter pull and hoe properly. Thus, doing this consistently will make your garden weed free in a few seasons. Organic gardening is a healthy way of caring for your plants in a natural, pesticide manner. It may, for sure, take a bit more care and time as compared to regular gardening, but it definitely is worth that extra time.

Gardeners have such claims to being 'green people' that they have been undeservedly left out of the sustainability debate. We must hope this will end. Organic gardening can contribute much to sustainability objectives by:

recycling all garden and household vegetable waste
collecting, using and re-cycling all the water which falls on the garden
growing their own organic fruit and vegetables
generating solar and wind power within the garden
avoiding the use of pesticides
avoiding the use of chemicals
reducing the area of grass cut by machine-powered equipment
use an organic compost heap instead of a bonfire

Sustainability is a relative concept. It makes little sense to say that one garden design is 'sustainable' and another garden design is 'not sustainable'. But it does make sense to say that one garden design is 'more sustainable' and another garden design is 'less sustainable'. The distinction is that:

more sustainable gardens have fewer inputs (water, fertiliser, chemicals) and fewer outputs (water, pollution, vegetable waste).
less sustainable gardens have more inputs and more outputs

Gardeners can thus make far more sense of the sustainability concept than verbose politicians.

We told you a bit about these eco-efforts from the presidential campaign trail last October when the WHO project was kickin' some candidate butt in the name not only of local food production, but more specifically in the name of organic agriculure. Hence the name White House Organic Farm Project.

How to Start a Vegetable Garden as a Hobby

2009-12-24T04:53:00.000-08:00

A home vegetable garden is an excellent educational tool and hobby for families. Providing a means of teaching responsibility and hard work to children, the home vegetable garden offers many lessons with delicious rewards at the end of each season. For older children, consider encouraging them to research and create an organic garden to help them understand the chemistry of gardening.

Step 1
Measure the area desired for the garden and plot on the graph paper the perimeter and any distinct landmarks such as beds, pots and walkways.

Step 2

Test the soil to determine whether there are any missing nutrients. Carefully follow the instructions on the soil test kit to ensure accurate results and determine what nutrients will be added. Purchase the necessary nutrient additives from a local gardening store. If desiring an organic garden, be sure to use natural supplements instead of chemical supplements.

Step 3

Determine the local climate. Factors such as temperatures, rainfall, direction of the home and yard and local animals should all be considered when planning a vegetable garden. Gardens where such factors are not considered run the risk of plants failing because of harsh climates or improper sun exposure. Climate zones can be determined from the back of seed packets. If unsure of these factors, consider asking a local garden-store employee.

Step 4
Choose the desired fruits and vegetables for the garden and add them to the graph paper drawing. Account for the required growing space of each plant. If planting trees, take into consideration the overall shade-to-sun ratio around the base of the tree and avoid planting anything that requires large amounts of sunlight in the area underneath the tree.

Step 5
Determine which plants will be purchased as seeds and which as live plants. Some plants, especially trees, can only be obtained in plant form because they have been grafted to ensure successful adaptation to their climate.

Step 6

Purchase the necessary plants and seeds and plant the garden.

Basic Elements of A Garden Design

2009-05-20T04:20:00.000-07:00

Gardening should first and foremost be an exercise towards self fulfillment to make it enjoyable. Some gardeners start their gardens without any formal design in mind while some others prefer to have a detailed design and planting plan.In garden design, there are no exact rules to follow, however it is equally important to note that there are basic elements to consider that when combined together constitute a generally accepted good garden design.

The basic elements to start with:

Style: A garden like a person should have a distinct personality to it. Begin by thinking about whether you want your garden to have a formal or informal look. Consider your site, the style of your home, and your own personality. Though you don’t have to be too rigorous about striving for a consistent style, you’ll want to avoid a jumble of diverse and unrelated elements.

Flow: Think about how you would like someone to view and move through your garden. Paths are one way to connect some of the various parts to achieve a sense of order and cohesiveness. Focal points, such as a piece of sculpture, a distinctive tree, or a captivating view, can be used to draw the eye and pull us forward into a new space. A garden is more pleasing if there is a logical progression from one area to the next.

Scale: This is about proportions - how the sizes and shapes of things relate to each other. Most scale problems are due to skimpiness, such as beds and paths that are too narrow, or plantings that are too small and tentative. If in doubt, err on the side of boldness and generosity, or better yet consult an experienced gardener or a professional landscape designer (whichever is applicable).

When all of the above requirements are satisfied, then it is time to move on to other underlying and equally important elements needed to make a successful garden design.
