As the mother of an eight year old with a frustrated gardening bug (we live in an apartment) I can think of two perfect assistants for the White House Gardener.

Malia and Sasha are the perfect age to learn to garden, and have been, according to one of those squishy women's magazine articles, trying to improve their diets.  Think of the message that would send.  Food gardening is important enough to warrant the attention of a White House Gardener...and it's accessible enough for a gradeschooler to accomplish.  Besides, think of the cute photo ops.

Anyone have Michelle's number?

It would send a good message for the White House to be able to serve extremely local food to foreign visitors, as well. Quite probably, it would set them thinking about the virtues of localized agriculture.
