A time-honored White House tradition has taken place again this April as first lady Melania Trump invited Americans to the White House grounds to view the beautiful gardens in early bloom. Sunday’s skies were mostly cloudy with highs near 60F, and the sun was peeking through — so the threat of spring showers kept no one away.
Americans lined up early in the morning to view the Trump White House gardens across the South Lawn.
Previously scheduled for both Saturday and Sunday, the tours were rescheduled to Sunday due to “an abundance of caution and to ensure the safety of all within proximity to public demonstrations planned near the White House,” according to a press release.
On the tour, visitors can view the flower garden, The Rose Garden, the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden, the Kitchen and Cutting Garden, and the Children’s Garden.
The White House grounds comprise the oldest continually maintained landscape in the U.S.
Currently, there are 33 commemorative plantings.
