1) Identify a landscape near you that you think should be “edible-ized”. Chances are that you won’t have to look far. Start with your own yard, neighborhood, or child’s schoolyard. Then, why not ask your elected officials at the state and local level to lead by example. The Governors of Maine, North Carolina and New York are already eating from gardens planted at their official residences.
2) Sign the “White House Food Garden Petition” which they will deliver to President-elect Obama along with a diverse collection of heirloom seed packets.
3) Contact President-elect Obama’s transition office directly here. Tell him you’d like him to replant an organic garden on the White House lawn. There’s an opportunity to attach a photo to your request. You can grab one here.
4) Join this campaign and website. Use their site to share your stories of edible landscapes you’re creating, planning, or already eating.
5) Join their Facebook Cause
