"Green Thumbs in the White House"

The John Hay Estate Summer Luncheon Series

Wednesday, July 29, 11am-2pm

“Green Thumbs in the White House”

Presentation by Kevin Bragg of Canterbury Plantation

Take a trip through time at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, as we examine the horticultural history behind the "Executive Residence".  We'll learn about the people, both Presidents and gardeners, who have left their mark on the White House.  This illustrated presentation will show glimpses of the "President's Park" as it has changed from 1790 to the present. Kevin Bragg, owner and chief water applicator of Canterbury Plantation, will share his personal stories of working in the White House. Meets at the Pavilion. Because of COVID-19 we are unable to offer food and beverages this summer but we encourage you to please bring your own lunch to enjoy during the presentation.
