Here are the top five facts you need to know about the different gardens at the White House.
Just recently, book author Marta McDowell released her book "All the Presidents' Gardens," which revealed some unknown information about the gardens at the White House. The illustrated books gave information about the gardens from several years ago and how they have changed or developed over time, according to Elle Décor.
First on the list is the Sheep Once Mowed the Lawn which was about the White House garden as it was back in the 1918s. At that time, 20 Hampshire sheep lived on the South Lawn of the White House to keep the grass chopped regularly and properly. At that time, the World War I took place, and sheep wool was high on demand because they were typically auctioned as a novelty item to benefit the American Red Cross.
Second on the list was when the late President Carter built a tree house at the garden space of the White House. At that time, Carter had the house built for her daughter Amy. The latter used to have sleepovers with her friends inside the tree house.
Third on the list was President Nixon's daughter's wedding that also took place right outside the White House. Tricia tied the knot with Edward Cox, and their wedding ceremony took place at the Rose Garden.
Meanwhile, President Washington requested for exotic seeds to be planted in the White House garden during the time of his ruling. Also, President Kennedy previously spray painted the lawn after he realized that its appearance just never looked quite right.
"It is driving the President crazy," his wife said at that time.
Now that you have some information about the gardens at the White House, you can definitely use this to share some trivia with your family and friends.
