WASHINGTON (FOX 5 DC) - A petition has been created and signed by more than 43,000 people urging First Lady Jill Biden and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff to "restore the Rose Garden" at the White House.
According to the petition, former First Lady Melania Trump had cherry trees and other foliage removed from the garden. Creators and signers of the petition want the garden to be restored to what it looked like after former First Lady Jackie Kennedy took over the project in the early 1960s.
Jackie Kennedy revitalized the Rose Garden after visiting Europe with former President Kennedy and noting that the White House did not have gardens on par with those in England and France, according to the petition.
Former First Lady and immediate successor to Jackie Kennedy First Lady Lady Bird Johnson even renamed the East Garden as "Jacqueline Kennedy Garden" in 1965.
"Jackie's legacy was ripped away from Americans who remembered all that the Kennedy's meant to us," the petition's website states. "We want Jill Biden and Doug Emhoff to take this on and restore the Rose Garden to Jackie's original design."

Destroy it like Joe is destroying the country.
Only the 1% can have nice things
And of course the Biden’s will do it. They don’t have a clear thought. They are follow the crowd types.
Rose gardens are a lot of work and expense — especially Old Fashioned Roses — but the WH has the budget from us to do it.
The garden was dilapidated and in disarray and Melania restored it. That’s a fact.
Doug Emhoff is going to plant roses?
Watch for anything ‘Trump’ to be obliterated as fast as possible. They will destroy the Rose Garden just as easily as they will destroy Rudy.
That petition they’ll pay attention to.
Other petitions, like to finish The Wall, are ignored.
Jack.....................
Has anyone done a study on the carbon footprint of a rose garden restoration? And would any endangered snails or crickets be disturbed by this activity?
And what about the roses themselves? Were any of them cultivated by a white suprematist? All of this needs to be investigated throughly before any work is done.
Come on, man!
some take-a-ways:
Privately Funded
10 tees removed due to too much shade over the roses
Trees were saved to be replanted later.
“They will destroy the Rose Garden just as easily as they will destroy Rudy.”
I doubt if Rudy goes quietly.
I love roses just as much as the next gardener, but Jill is not the one to restore anything.
She has such tacky taste in clothing, I can’t imagine what she would do with a Rose Garden.
As long as the roots are not severed, all is well. And all will be well in the garden. In the garden, growth has it seasons. First comes spring and summer, but then we have fall and winter.
To change it would be a travesty and total waste of our dollars.
“Dammit Jim I’m a doctor not a gardener.”
