 Jacqueline Kennedy Garden • Photo Public Domain – National Parks Service PROGRAM: Gardens and Grounds of the White House 2024 may be an election year, but the real work of gardening is apolitical, and plants have no party affiliation. Our speaker, Michael Lawn, having served as the Gardener Foreman for the White House under five presidents, gives an insider’s overview of the day-to-day operations of the White House grounds. His slide presentation includes such features as the Olmstead Vista, the Rose Garden, and South Lawn, to mention a few, as well as some memorable moments and landscaping achievements. Though our speaker supervised the creation of pathways upon which presidents walked, he sheds light on who it is that really runs the White House grounds and gardens.  Comments are closed.
