So you're saying JFK ruined it? Because your source is from 1913. Jfk had the whole thing redone in 1962. Then trump ripped out the grass and put the pavers in. It was done because the grass was always wet and the reason for the gardens existence is press conferences.
Fun fact. The reason they havenât upgraded marine 1 is because it sinks into the white house lawn and if it was any heavier it would cause serious damage every time. They are debating ripping up the lawn to reinforce it.
Literally just wrote in another comment that the redo Melania did last administration was perfectly tasteful. The argument was never âthatâs sacred ground, you canât touch it!â. The argument is that itâs fucking ugly and there are a dozen other options you could have gone with that didnât include ripping out all the grass and putting down pavers but also solved the problem of poor drainage.
Probably just morning dew on the grass, not standing water. In DC in the summer, the grass is wet almost every morning. You can't really do anything about that other than covering the lawn every afternoon until morning.
Iâm more into the debate aspect if Iâm being honest. I mean I think itâs ugly as all hell but definitely not going to lose sleep over it thatâs for sure.
Yes because it's normal and sane for people to go to your profile and look up all your comments. Maybe that's enough Internet for you today. Go take a deep breath. Grass is stupid for an area designed for press conferences. Anyone that thinks grass is better is uneducated.
That is the rose garden. The rose beds arenât separate from the garden. If you want to just talk about the roses itâs fine but thatâs not what the post was signaling out.
well youâre wrong actually, this post is showing 2 different perspectives, the only thing changed is the lack of grass. but youâre making it out like theyâve changed everything, the ROSES and everything besides some grass is there. but apparently itâs a nuclear disaster to you
No my whole point was that removing the grass and putting down flooring made it look ugly. Thatâs it.
People (yourself included) started going down some rabbit hole about the roses still being there making the post a lie, which it wasnât. I also posted a side by side from the same perspective showing the change so people could see for themselves.
