The First Lady is the first presidential wife to grace the magazine's cover.The August 2011 issue of Better Homes and Gardens is making history. First Lady Michelle Obama is not only the first public figure to appear on the magazine's cover in more than 40 years, she's also the only presidential wife to do so.
The story spotlights Mrs. Obama's healthy eating and living incentives, and features a 9-page spread about a White House picnic with school children from the local area that she hosted at the presidential mansion. All the fruits and vegetables are grown, of course, at Mrs. Obama's gardens at the White House.
Scroll through to see photos from the fun afternoon.

We love that the pretty white napkins reiterate the healthy foods theme with pictures of fruits and vegetables.

And the vegetable centerpieces and the mini glass bottles used for orange juice are simply adorable.
