Edible Garden created for First Lady Michelle Obama
NBC Today Show asked if I could grow a garden in a 1952 “B” Series Chevrolet Pickup Truck to honor Michelle Obama’s public health campaign “Let’s Move!” The result was the “GARDENONTHEGO.”
The truck was used to film NBC and Food Network segments in New York and The White House, Washington, DC.

I was honored to spend time with The First lady, Al Roker and the NBC producers and crew on the day she closed the garden at the White House.
The Idea and Sketch
I thought I would use whiskey barrels for containers because anyone can grow a garden in a barrel regardless of where they live. It’s an easy and inexpensive.

Prepping the truck for the trip to The White House.
Proud to have our truck parked at the back door of the The White House for delivery.
Jack Daniels Whiskey Barrels
I called Jack Daniels because I wanted real whiskey barrels and they cut some fresh and sent them over-night. Thank you Jack Daniels (they are gorgeous.)
