White House Rose Garden Undergoes Controversial Transformation
For many Americans, the White House Rose Garden is more than landscaping—it’s a national treasure. But today, that historic space looks nearly unrecognizable.
Bulldozers Replace Blooms
New photos show a dramatic scene just outside the Oval Office: bulldozers, gravel, and construction crews have taken over the once-lush lawn. The transformation began on June 9, led by President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump as part of a new redesign.
What was once the garden’s vibrant green centerpiece is now a bed of gravel. Construction vehicles sit nearby, and workers haul materials across the grounds. Some original hedges remain, but the overall look has changed drastically.
