Less than three weeks after it was debuted, First Lady Melania Trumps Rose Garden renovation at the White House is reportedly falling apart.
According to CNN, there are issues with water drainage and some minor complications with updated construction at the iconic garden, requiring new repairs.
During Trumps Republican National Convention (RNC) speech in the garden, the lack of drainage caused the ground to become too muddy to hold the 75 guests at the event without putting down artificial grass, CNN reported.
The first lady unveiled the new garden on August 22 with a private celebration. The revamp was reportedly funded through private donations rather than taxpayer dollars.

(70,490 posts)I am willing to bet that when Jackie had the garden done (designed, installed, and maintained by experts)
they had drainage built into the system. Something like drain tiles and or french drains which were not
updated and or replaced with the new garden.
BTW the old garden was just fine and it had roses that went back 100 to 150 years (they might be cuttings
or grafted plants from the old roses) Trump just had Jackie's Rose Garden ripped out just to be a prick.
