00:00Welcome to the Obama Presidential Center.
00:02It's all for you, so take care of it.
00:06This campus is built for people to actually use.
00:09More than half of the entire $850 million campus is free and open to the public daily,
00:15including the Fruit and Vegetable Garden.
00:17The Eleanor Roosevelt Fruit and Vegetable Garden is the spiritual successor to Mrs. Obama's White House kitchen garden
00:24and activates the space with community engagement, educating people about healthy living, fruits and vegetables, and pollination.
00:32The garden is named after Eleanor Roosevelt, another prolific first lady who championed the idea of victory gardens,
00:39encouraging people to grow food for their own communities.
00:43I come from a long line of gardeners and farmers, and this work comes from a core belief of mine
00:49that food is a basic human right.
00:51People deserve education around green spaces, growing their own produce,
00:55so that they can bring it back to their own communities and thrive.
