There are roses; there is a design; there are pathways; there is a lush lawn. Gardens at French chateaux have fewer flowers than this. Formal gardens do rely on green structure, such as boxwoods.
Every time you get challenged on something, whether it is a garden, or animal rescue, or the viability of life on Mars, you are a self-proclaimed expert.
I'm a gardener too. In fact I am a Georgia certified "master gardener". You are not the world's authority on what is or what is not a garden.
Then you say you are not "bashing the first lady" and three sentences later you accuse her of marrying for money.
Just stop already.
Exactly.
How could anyone say this is not a garden? lol. What on earth..?
But it is the dog days of summer. Worst time ever to lay sod, plant new things. It may look better in a month after lots of watering, cooler days and time to grow.
But it looks like crap right now.
It is what it is.
Not Melania's fault. She wouldn't know that it would look like crap for ra bit. She doesn't garden.
Personally I like more color. But the before picture looks pretty bad. When I was in DC a couple of years ago the White House area looked much worse than I remember it being from before. Just not well maintained.

In the "after" gardening pics it appears they were removed and planted over. It doesn't look like there would be room to even bloom if they were still there.
Glad people with disabilities will now be able to maneuver around the garden. People who complain about it are idiots.
Handicap accessibility is a good thing. Just now many do you think gets to casualty stroll the white house? If you can get your congressman to give you your tickets, and you can get past all the security, you get to see 5 rooms. So I'm sure this grand improvement in accessibility will get lots of use.
I don't know why a beautiful woman who is adept & successful in traditional female roles can be such a threat to others who are less inclined. Do you?
Perhaps it is the sycophancy people object to.
