White House staff gave a tour around the executive mansion where flowers and trees are starting to bloom, signaling that Spring has arrived in the nation's capital. Parts of the North lawn, South lawn, and the Rose Garden were feature stops, and views of the Washington Monument and the Jefferson Memorial were a bonus on this sunny Thursday morning. Public tours both inside and outside the White House are available and restarted last year after a more than 14-month hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic. The annual fall and spring tours open the gates on gardens more than 200 years old — the oldest continually maintained landscape in the United States, says the National Park Service. When first lady Pat Nixon started the spring and fall garden tours in 1973, the White House itself still was open to visitors lining up for tours.
