Inside Trump’s remake of the White House Rose Garden. First a stone patio, then statues
President Donald Trump has transformed the White House Rose Garden, replacing its lush lawn with a white stone patio and adding statues in its place. Instead of new roses, the garden now features statues of America's founders, including George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, Ben Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson. The Jefferson statue is a gift from sculptor George Lundeen, while the others are either gifts or on loan from anonymous donors.
Trump's renovation of the Rose Garden aligns with his broader plan to leave his mark on downtown Washington through various construction projects.
