Ben and Juliah- Landscape and Garden George Washington had put a lot of thought into creating the garden. Although he did create the landscape he did not want to maintain it. He had hired professional landscapers in 1762. The professional landscapers were at a very skilled level to be able to keep up with the complex design of the garden. The gardeners also tried to figure out a way to maximize the life of the fresh produce; they used glass frames, and bell jars to retain heat in the gardens. George Washington also ensured that he had a "pleasure area" in the garden for his family, and guest's to enjoy the surroundings. There is also a greenhouse on the property. The greenhouse is the second largest building, and also one of the most advanced greenhouses of the time period.

Washington understood the need to open the executive residence and properly receiving those who called on the President. Every Tuesday afternoon Washington received male callers from three until four o'clock in the afternoon. The levees held by Martha Washington every Friday evening were less formal affairs that included both men and women. George Washington understood that his forums set precedents for future presidents to follow, and he took seriously the need to make certain that dinners were dignified and befitting of his guests. Once he became President, Washington ensured the purchase of an ensemble of tablewares appropriate to the type of entertaining that he sought to establish. Approximately three dozen dining chairs, probably upholstered in matching crimson satin, circled the tables assembled for Washington's guests. Washington's carefully-planned ensemble of dining ware produced an image of elegance mixed with respectability.
