Throughout it all, the grounds have remained not only beautiful, but also a powerful reflection of American trends. This book tells the untold history of the White House grounds with historical and contemporary photographs, vintage seeds catalogs, and rare glimpses into Presidential pastimes. History buffs will revel in the fascinating tidbits about Lincoln's goats, Ike's putting green, Jackie's iconic roses, Amy Carter's tree house, and Trump's controversial renovations. Gardeners will enjoy the information on the plants whose favor has come and gone over the years and the gardeners who have been responsible for it all. As one head gardener put it, 'What's great about the job is that our trees, our plants, our shrubs, know nothing about politics." 650 0 $a Gardens $z Washington (D.C.) $x History. 650 0 $a Horticulture $z Washington (D.C.) $x History. 651 0 $a White House Gardens (Washington, D.C.) $x History. 941 $a 1 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20240301010301.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=65044F90D79911EEA0F8FB843CECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
