Jackson Place Sitting Room and the Jackson Place Dining Room at Blair House

The Jackson Place Sitting Room and the Jackson Place Dining Room at Blair House will be decorated with nontraditional decorations featuring heirloom varieties of the world’s three primary grains-corn, wheat and rice, along with information to raise awareness that one billion people suffer from hunger while another billion suffer ill health from consuming too much food. Christmas trees, which became symbols of national unity following the Civil War, will highlight that mission by displaying dove-shaped cookies featuring the flags of 192 nations.

The Adams Room at the State Department

Decorated with the help of Natural Home, the Adams Room will feature ever-popular apples to anchor the holiday decorations. Growers from across the country are providing rare, heirloom varieties to fill bowls and perfume the air in this elegant room. Mother Earth News will provide information cards about each variety and samples will be served during a special reception on December 7.
