Organic leafy greens growing in the People’s Garden, on Wednesday, April 5, 2016, in Washington, Straw mulch on top and a cover crop grown in this bed retains moisture, moderates temperature, provides nutrients and reduces weed growth. April is National Garden Month and USDA launched the new People’s Garden website that provides tools and resources gardeners can use to start or expand a home, school or community garden. The People’s Garden Initiative works across USDA and with partners to start and sustain school gardens, community gardens, urban farms, and small-scale agriculture projects in rural and urban areas with the mission of growing healthy food, people, and communities. This work is accomplished through collaboration and volunteerism. It is named in honor of President Lincoln’s description of USDA as “The People’s Department.” USDA Photo by Lance Cheung.
