Linda Hoyt grew up in Northern Virginia spending happy youthful hours at the gardens at Mount Vernon, Colonial Williamsburg and Washington, DC. She was a contributing writer in The Literary Gardener, a book about famous gardens in literature, and is currently collaborating on a comprehensive work featuring the White House gardens and gardener since 1960.
Utilizing her passion for gardening and history, as well as her experience in the Reagan White House, Ms. Hoyt has delivered a book that is educational, fascinating, and entertaining. Well researched and filled with photos, illustrations, and anecdotes, her work opens the garden gate on a world most of us will otherwise never have had the chance to enter.
