Michelle Obama is nursing a garden at the White House, hearkening back to WWII, when places like Atlanta City Hall were giving Victory Gardens a go. Photo from a wonderful collection held by the GSU Library. Another shot of the garden over here.

Art Deco central building at the amazing botanical gardens in Montreal, which I visited in March 2007. It was cloudy and rainy but still very nice. This image was cropped from a larger picture.
