Though I still would have liked a play area where you could practice being an architect and build Trump Tower.
Our First Lady takes this and makes it an opportunity to show self sufficiency I think.

First lady Melania Trump helped children from organizations in the District of Columbia harvest vegetables and plant a fall crop in the White House garden on Friday.
The “White House Kitchen Garden” and the tradition of inviting local children to take part in planting and harvesting was started by former First Lady Michelle Obama
Melania Trump is continuing the tradition, this year with children from the Girls and Boys Club of Greater Washington and FBR Clubhouse.
Trump greeted the children, one of whom asked if she was Melania Trump.
“Yes, I am the first lady for those of you who don’t know me,” Trump said.
“I just want to welcome you the White House and thank you for coming and helping me to harvest and plant the vegetables in the beautiful garden,” Trump said. “So I think we will have a lot of fun.”
Trump, who donned red gloves that matched perfectly with her red country-style shirt, told the children they would be given samples of honey from the White House beehives to share with their families before joining them to pull up bright orange carrots and pick vine-ripened red tomatoes.

But First Lady Melania takes this and makes it her own.
Thus by default improves it exponentially.

Love it...having kids over to help harvest, what a great thing to do...
Having been raised on a farm, best lessons are learned in life, a garden, a farm, hands on...
Love our FLOTUS...a Lady, but not afraid of getting down in Mother Earth...
Does she ever NOT look gorgeous?
We haven’t seen it yet, and don’t think we ever will...no matter if she wears heels to a flood. (LOLOL. the media, what dopes!)
Love it!
What a beautiful improvement to the WH garden ;-)
“The “White House Kitchen Garden” and the tradition of inviting local children to take part in planting and harvesting was started by former First Lady Michelle Obama”
The wookie used it for a photo op and propaganda for her destruction of school lunches. Nothing more.
Did the mooch ever get down and plant/harvest with any kids?
Only if there was a camera around.
I bet the White House chefs just love it. Fresh stuff right out of the garden? A dream come true for them.
Oh they’ll make a big deal that some of that stuff goes to food sources for the shelters, but..
This is good. Better would be getting FFA(Future Farmers of America) and 4H kids involved.
I ain’t seen it yet. She flows with beauty inside and out. So proud of our First Lady.........;)
What would she plant in the fall?
“This is good. Better would be getting FFA(Future Farmers of America) and 4H kids involved”
Melania was honorary chairman of the Boys and Girls Clubs for five years so it would be natural for her to choose them first.
She has 7 1/2 more years. I feel certain she will get around to the FFA and 4H clubs.
[Better would be getting FFA(Future Farmers of America) and 4H kids involved.]
It is unlikely that they have those clubs in Washington D.C.
Kale is the only thing I can think of that would provide a fall to early winter crop.

> started by former First Lady Michelle Obama
I criticize her a lot. But for this I want to say “good job” and “thanks”.
(I don’t need to hear about “motives”, “methods”, “how she used it”, “how she left it”,.... I like it and I like continuing it)
Some chickens and a hog pen would be awesome. Perhaps a milk barn, etc....lol
you mean the Bigfoot Scarecrow?
