The White House Gardens is the first book that traces both the history of the most famous gardens in the United States (from the time of John Adams to the present), and gives detailed illustrations on how they are planned and what they look like.
A text rich in historical fact and Presidential anecdote is enhanced by twenty-six full color reproductions of Harold Sterner's original botanical watercolors (all drawn on location at The White House), and rare engravings never before published.
Here is a book for everyone interested in art, in gardens, and in preserving United States history. It is a book to keep in your home, to pass on to your children and they to theirs. The White House Gardens is more than a book. It is an investment in tradition. Vissza
