Before and after photographs of newly renovated White House Rose Garden

[Saya]

Looked better before.

 

[Grexeno]

White House Rose Garden, now featuring no flowers

 

[Garlador]

Well, at least this administration is consistent in trying to remove color from the White House.

 

[Winstano]

Wow, they've even removed the colour from the flowerbeds!

 

[selfnoise]

Perhaps it's churlish of me, but I feel I should point out that Tulips don't bloom this time of year anyhow.

Lol.

 

[Aurongel]

To be fair, these photos were shot with different levels of cloud coverage which make the post-renovation photo look diffuse and desaturated in comparison. The removal of trees and colorful flowers are an odd choice though but I imagine a lot of that could be explained by the differing seasons.

 

[defaltoption]

This fucker even made the garden a place for white supremacists

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Misleading. This isn't even the same season

[WeAreStarStuff]

Not surprised Trump would remove the colored.

 

[BasilZero]

Why they removed the trees :(

 

[Tobor]

They had to take the trees out so Trump can stare into the sun easier.

 

[Box]

What y'all on about? I see more flowers?

 

[dots]

Getting rid of the trees is a sin.

 

[WedgeX]

Where'd the historic cherry trees go?

Where did all the flowers go?

This administration can't even garden well.

 

[Nilou]

Such a shame, the colors before were vibrant and beautiful, now it just looks drab and soulless.

 

[fluffydelusions]

This administration makes everything worse

 

[Tobor]

This is just the beginning. I don't even want to know what they've done to the Residence. It's going to be horrific.

 

[Flaurehn]

were those trees Obama's favorite trees ever? Why did they cut them?

 

[Deleted member 17092]

So they added a sidewalk which explains the tree removal. Lame.

[geomon]

Was that a cherry blossom tree? If so, of course he took it down. It's Japanese.

 

[Loud Wrong]

There's plenty of flowers in there, they just haven't bloomed. I like both looks, but prefer the update. Just wish they had kept those trees, which I think are Dogwoods.

I too wish I could have a path and trees disappear between seasons.

 

[frankenstrat]

Damn it looks boring as hell now. Seasons or not, trees and paths >>>>

[Mr. Wonderful]

Tan suit level of stupid thread.

In most spaces such as this, different plants are rotated in and out depending on the season so that something is always in bloom. The biggest change here is the removal of the trees.

 

[Stick]

Even the flowers can only be white.

 

[BLEEN]

The overcast gives the second pic less pop and color. But they both look nice anywho. Leaning towards the first.

I can't imagine the amount of de-gilding it'll take once that fucker's gone. Probably looks like the K-Mart version of Saddam's old palace. Everything's plated instead of solid gold.

/dead 😂

I was expecting something worse though - gold everywhere...

 

[mreddie]

They took out the Blossom trees? Why?

 

[nded]

If only making questionable renovations to the white house were the worst of it. Plenty of actual awful shit to drag trump over.

 

[skeezx]

jokes aside seems like they just wanted to put a walkway through there

 

[Deleted member 44129]

Everything Trump touches ends up worse than before.

You did good.

Also, that is so much worse. The previous garden was beautiful.

I just hope they didn't destroy anything of historical significance.

 

[Sobriquet]

WTF why would they get rid of the cherry trees?

 

[Squirrel Killer]

Jesus people, I know LOL Trump, but tulips aren't going to be in season in late August.

 

[Deleted member 32822]

I like that they added a walkway, but that's about it.

 

[Septy]

It's clear the flowers haven't all bloomed yet. There's better things to be upset at Trump over.

Also a before and after of Michelle's vegetable garden:

 

[Enduin]

Looks like a bunch of weeds. Removal of the trees is the worst though.

 

[Deleted member 17092]

Click to shrink...

Why? Because people can't walk on grass in a garden for some reason??? And to put in a walkway you have to cut down trees. Sucks.

Post of the year.

Click to shrink...

To put in a sidewalk they likely had to take out the trees and roots. Fucking sucks.
