the first white house garden was planted in 1800, by the second president of the united states john adams and first lady abigail adams. adams and his wife grew their own fresh fruits and vegetables to feed their family, rather than buying produce at the local market. after president adams planted the first garden, former presidents that lived in the white house cultivated gardens of their own. in 1801, thomas jefferson, the second president who resided in the white house, transformed adams’ garden with the addition of ornamental and fruit trees. since the grounds of the garden were too raw and muddy for serious planting in the first decade of the 19th century, president jefferson arranged the construction of his own vegetable garden above charlottesville so that it would be ready for his retirement. this inspired many american families to plant gardens in their yards. jefferson also picked the location of the flower garden that was planted. in 1825, adams was the first president to plant ornamental trees on the white house lawns. he personally planted seedlings such as fruit trees, herbs and vegetables to support his household. adams also helped develop the flower gardens that jefferson had originally planted. in 1835 president andrew jackson built a hothouse made out of glass, known as the orangery, that grew tropical fruit. the orangery produced fruit from 1836 until it was demolished and replaced by a full-scale greenhouse in 1857. then several years later the greenhouse was broken down later in 1902 and replaced by the west wing.
