White House Garden Tour!

Tonight I’m heading down to D.C. so I can attend the White House Social Fall Garden Tour tomorrow!
(Which is a special Tweetup tour of the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden, Rose Garden, and the South Lawn, including the White House Kitchen Garden and beehive.)

How did I get to do this? I follow White House social media accounts on Twitter, and I applied through the White House Social website.

Needless to say, I’m really excited about seeing the grounds and being in a place that I have spent so much time imagining (particularly for fiction purposes).

I’ll be tweeting throughout the tour tomorrow, so if you’d like to follow along find me on Twitter (or check out the hashtag #WHGarden). The events start at 7:30 am EST, so look for WH tweets from me starting around that time. We are having a question and answer session with Administration officials around 10:00 am EST, so tweet me any questions you’d like to ask! Or leave them in the comments below.

    So cool! Have fun! I of course want to know what Sasha and Malia are reading these days but I don’t know how closely the administration keeps tabs on that 🙂 They’ve picked out some good books in the past, though!

    @Rachel: It’s funny because I tried for months and months to get a tour through my congressperson, to no success. Who knew all it took was a couple of tweets to go on a WH garden tour?! 🙂
