When Michelle Obama planted a vegetable garden on the South Lawn of the White House, it became far more than a gardening project. The White House Kitchen Garden sparked national conversations about nutrition, fresh food access, sustainability, and the importance of gathering around the table.
In American Grown, Obama shares the story behind the garden’s creation, along with reflections on family meals, healthy living, and the people who helped cultivate the project—from schoolchildren and chefs to farmers and community gardeners across America.
Filled with vivid photography, recipes, gardening advice, and personal anecdotes, the book highlights how food connects families, neighborhoods, and generations. More than simply a gardening book, American Grown is an inspiring celebration of community, wellness, and the enduring value of growing something with your own hands.
Warm, hopeful, and beautifully designed, it’s a book to return to again and again.
