White House Garden Tour

GI’ve never met a Garden Tour that I could resist, and this tour was no exception! The White House Garden Tour took place this weekend and the early bloomers were out in force. This hot ticket was well worth the wait … and did not disappoint.

The tulips and cherry trees were amazing. Check out the kitchen garden originally planted by First Lady Abagail Adams to feed her family. The Garden was transformed by President Thomas Jefferson with the addition of ornamental and fruit trees. Beautiful flowers, a band playing and baby ducks—what more could a girl want in a tour!
