As golden leaves start peppering the lawns of D.C., The White House is opening its gates for its annual Fall Gardens Tour. For those looking to stroll through the manicured landscapes, the event will take place from 10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, October 12, and Sunday, October 13, as detailed in an announcement on the official White House website.

Before the general public takes in the splendor of the seasonal changes, there's a chance for the media to get a sneak peek. A media preview is scheduled for Friday, October 11, from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM ET. Media interested in attending must RSVP by the end of the day tomorrow, as per the White House statement.

The tour itself, a celebration not just of the change of seasons but of the accessibility of our nation's landmarks, is free to the members of the public who wish to participate. That said, a timed ticket is required for admission, regardless of age. These tickets will be handed out by the National Park Service outside the White House Visitor Center at 1450 Pennsylvania Avenue NW.
