"Michelle Obama is out to set an example\u2014and just in time for spring! She and a group of garden experts, chefs and students from a local elementary school are helping to plant a vegetable garden on the White House lawn\u2014the first since Eleanor Roosevelt&amp;#039;s victory garden during World War II, used to provide food for troops.  The eco-friendly garden-maintenance swaps include a move from pesticides to integrated pest management, including the presence of &amp;quot;helpful&amp;quot; insects, such as ladybugs and praying mantises, according to Earth911.com. Additionally, plants will be nourished with compost from the White House (which will make for some pretty well-fed plants, considering all the leftover food from banquets and roundtable rituals most likely gone to waste). Most adorably, I can&amp;#039;t think of a better exchange of expertise between Michelle and the garden assistants she&amp;#039;ll be working alongside, students from Bancroft Elementary School, who have been cultivating their own garden since 2001. \u2013Brynn Mannino "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
