For two centuries the garden surrounding the White House has offered a refuge for the nation's presidents and their families. Featuring an introductory letter from President William J. Clinton, The White House Garden tells the story of this special place, showing in dramatic new color photographs and documentary views what the garden has looked like through the years. the book describes the greenhouses and gardens in which White House flowers have been grown for parties, gifts, and everyday pleasures. It also highlights the wonderful groves of trees that screen the green enclave today. Plans of the gardens and commemorative trees provide concise tours. From the north fountain overlooking Pennsylvania Avenue, through the contemplative East Garden and the lush Rose Garden, to the spreading trees on the rolling South Grounds, The White House Garden offers an incomparable visit to the President's own garden.
