i like the new rose garden! sorry
i liked the old one too and i hope they transplanted the historic trees and whatnot someplace else but i think whatever landscape designed they hired did a really nice job! space probably feels a lot more open
melania didn& #39;t like, do that personally. she doesn& #39;t know anything about gardens. she just hired someone. and she hired someone pretty good imho! i& #39;d add some decorative alliums maybe for a fun little bit of structure
it makes those pillars stand out! it looks classical. you can have a crabapple tree anywhere but you can& #39;t have architecture like that anywhere, you should work with it

folks plants don& #39;t live forever. i understand its upsetting but your average apple tree is gonna give you 60 years, a rose 20 or 30, a tulip bulb a tight 3-5. gardens aren& #39;t meant to be immortal things frozen in time. gardens change just like plants and people do
when we talk about a historic garden, it usually means it& #39;s a garden laid out in a period appropriate way, with period appropriate plants. we don& #39;t mean it& #39;s the exact same plants capability brown planted. they all died before the war. people just preserve ideas
i promise the original garden is okay, and still alive, just one layer down now underneath this new garden. a plant doesn& #39;t have the same sort of concepts of life and death as mammals do. crabapples didn& #39;t go extinct. crabapples just go on and on
and no it& #39;s not a fucking money laundering scheme. it& #39;s some nice landscape architecture nerd& #39;s most important work of their life. it& #39;s an incredible honor and i think they did a nice job and if the world still exists in a decade we can plant tulips then
