Working at the White House: Horticulturist Jim Adams


Listen Later

Jim Adams keeps every plant at the White House healthy and beautiful as the Supervisory Horticulturist for the National Park Service Special Liaison to the White House. In this last episode of our Working at the White House series, we spoke to Adams in the White House’s Kennedy Garden about the history of the White House as a National Park, about his year-round rotation of plants, and about his encounters with the President’s dogs and other wildlife on the White House grounds.

And in a Slate Plus extra, Adams tells us about what goes into setting up the White House Easter Egg Roll and other special events.
