"Last Word"-The White House Goes Green

SUSIE GHARIB: And finally, how's this for the seeds of change? First lady Michelle Obama today began preparing the soil for the future White House vegetable garden. She had some help from students from a local Washington elementary school. The garden will provide food for the first family's meals and formal dinners. With 55 varieties of vegetables, it will be also used to promote healthy eating. And Paul, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is following a huge trend. Burpee Seeds, that's the largest U.S. mail order seed company, says demand is now at an all-time high.

KANGAS: My green thumb is at an all-time low. I bought an artificial plant and it died.

GHARIB: Sad to hear. Well, it's never too late to learn, Paul.

KANGAS: I guess not.
