The immaculate White House Kitchen Garden -- which can be seen through the gates to the White House South Lawn -- was established in 2009 by Michelle Obama as part of her work fighting childhood obesity. A stone left in the garden says she created it "with the hope of growing a healthier nation for our children." "Healthy, nurturing and positive environments are instrumental in enhancing the well-being and mindfulness of all children," Trump said in a statement, suggesting she is keen to continue Obama's work. She added the garden is "a prime example of how children can enjoy the outdoors and learn about healthy eating and living." The vegetable garden is the first grown at the White House since Eleanor Roosevelt's "victory garden," planted in 1943.
