The Garden Tour in Pictures: White House Google+ Photowalk

For forty years, the White House has opened its doors and welcomed visitors from across the country to tour the grounds and gardens. This year, we invited thirty of our photo enthusiast followers on Google+ to join us for the first ever White House Google+ Photowalk.

During the visit, our photowalkers toured the South Lawn and Kitchen Garden, met White House photographers, and were surprised by First Dog Bo.

Check out the full gallery of photos from the White House Photowalk:
