the rose garden. moving into the late 90's and the 2000, multiple green movements took off across the country. the new york city green streets project took off. in 2000, smart growth america and streets coalition were founded. this greening of american streets transformed what were hostile and unattractive intersections into beautiful spaces in which plants were planted. we have some examples for minneapolis to san francisco. this is a great example in new york city of a major transformation of an otherwise, it was a parking lot, with some nice plants. during this time, september 11 also occurred and had a lasting impact on the white house grounds. in response to the attacks, pennsylvania avenue north of the white house was closed to vehicle traffic. thanks to the simultaneous greening of the streets of america movement and the vision of well-known landscape architects, although the street was closed to vehicles, it was made accessible in an unprecedented way to pedestrians. this is what immediately h

there were also former gardens like the rose garden and jacqueline kennedy garden. informal spaces like the children's garden and the kitchen garden. and there's been recreational spaces like tennis court, swimming pool, horse shoe pitch and putting green and play spaces like amy carter's green house. as we learned through today's presentation, presidential involvement in the design and planting of the white house gardens go back to george washington selection of the site of the president's house in 1790. in original 8 -acre -- this original 82 acre plot included the white house grounds, the eclipse. the distance from north to south remain ground today with monuments and the potomac river in the distance. residents continue to make their mark on the landscape throughout the white house. many have taken a personal interest in the landscape as if it were their own backyard approaching the grounds with unique perimeter and skill. jimmy carter, for example, had an engineering background which he used to design a tree house for 10-year-old amy in 1977. the national park

like the kitchen garden and children's garden. and recreational spaces like the tennis court, horseshoe and putting green. as we have learned during today's presentations, presidential involvement in the design and planting of the white house gardens goes back to george washington's selection of the site for the house. this plot was larger than most american farms of the time. it included what is today's lafayette park, white house grounds and the ellipse. the vistas to the north and south were grand then and remain grand today with momuments, parks and the potomac river in the distance. presidents have continued to make their mark on the landscape throughout the history of the white house. many presidents have taken a personal interest in the landscape as if it were their own backyard. some presidents approached the gardens and grounds with unique perspective and skill. jimmy carter for example had engineering background which he used to design a tree house for 10-year-old amy in 1977. the national park service built the structur

we did garden the kitchen garden organically. and where, you know, we didn't use synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. but the white house grounds as jim eluded to, after having 35,000 people on your turf, two weeks later you can have a state arrival or garden tours or you're going to have to fertilize. and so you would use, you know, synthetic fertilizers that are used. like any landscape pests come up and if they're monitored properly, you make the rooiight decision of what to use and how. >> again, it comes back to balance. it's not a pure environment. it has to look good for events when used as a backdrop. and even to the extent of -- i remember state dinner one time where there was the prime minister of japan and it was the dead of winter. they wanted to have cherry trees in bloom. so fortunately we knew several months in advance a couple dozen cherry trees to the grown house in kennel worth. it's a garden, landscape, balance. >> approximately when are the two guard entours duri tw two gua two garden tours per year? >> it var
