Description

A New York Times Bestseller and AHS Book Award winner

The 18-acres surrounding the White House have been an unwitting witness to history—kings and queens have dined there, bills and treaties have been signed, and presidents have landed and retreated. Right through it all, the grounds have remained not only beautiful, but also a powerful reflection of American trends. In All the Presidents’ Gardens bestselling writer Marta McDowell tells the untold history of the White House Grounds with historical and recent photographs, vintage seeds catalogs, and rare glimpses into Presidential pastimes. History buffs will revel within the fascinating tidbits about Lincoln’s goats, Ike’s putting green, Jackie’s iconic roses, and Amy Carter’s tree house. Gardeners will enjoy the information at the plants whose favor has come and gone through the years and the gardeners who have been accountable for it all.
