From George Washington's obsession with collecting trees to Michelle Obama's kitchen garden, McDowell shows how the White House grounds are a reflection of America's enthusiasms."--Dust jacket. The front and back yard for the first family, the White House is by extension the nation's first garden. McDowell starts his story with the seed-collecting, plant-obsessed George Washington and ends with Michelle Obama's focus on edibles, to create a compelling narrative of how the garden is also the story of America.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 635.09753 Mc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 635.09753 Mc Checked In Add Copy to MyList
