White House Flowers
For two centuries the garden surrounding the White House has offered a refuge for the nation’s presidents and their families, while the use of flowers in the decor has been an expression of each first lady’s sense of style. This issue features a memoir by White House florist Nancy Clark, “State Dining Room Splendor: Arranging White House Flowers” as well as specially commissioned watercolors by Margaret Huddy depicting “The Wedding Flowers Arranged for Two White House Brides: Frances Cleveland and Nelly Grant.” Also featured: “Edith Roosevelt’s Colonial Garden” and “A Perfect Riot of Festooned Railings and Graceful Figures,” which will detail the spectacular 14-foot long gilded bronze mirrored plateau, used as a centerpiece on the State Dining Room table since 1818.
