In Honor of the Presidents (Past, Present, and Future)

So basically this is a re-post from Studio G's blog.  I do love this blog because they post so many beautiful gardens!  The Thomas Jefferson historic gardens are so beautiful and well organized and cared for, I thought it was re-post worthy.

So then I started wondering about other historic gardens in America and decided to post some of the links I found:

1. George Washington's Mount Vernon: here is a quote from the website for people who enjoy a bit of history too: "George Washington built and arranged the Upper Garden in 1763. In 1775, he expanded and redesigned much of his estate – including the Upper Garden."

2. Michelle Obama's vegetable garden:  This is such a great way to spread knowledge to adults and kids about where their food comes from, and I think she sets a great example for what schools could do in health class.  In elementary school, I vaguely remember having a garden that we got to help build and it was very exciting!  But most of my knowledge comes from helping my mom every summer. 


These were the only two I found, but I only did a quick search.  Do you know of any others?


ps.
I'm having issues with the links breaking, so below is the list of links, respectively:
1. http://www.studiogblog.com/
2. http://www.monticello.org/
3. http://www.mountvernon.org/index.cfm?
4. http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/09/03/20/Spring-Gardening/
