If you've ever wondered what the famous Rose Garden in Washington D.C. looks like, you can see it below - before it was turned into a paved parking lot.
We don't know exactly why President Trump is ruining this beautiful landmark.
Some history:
The Rose Garden was created by First Lady Ellen Wilson, the first wife of President Woodrow Wilson in 1913, replacing the colonial garden created by President Theodore Roosevelt’s wife, First Lady Edith Roosevelt.
Famously, First Lady Jackie Kennedy brought in landscape designer Rachel Lambert Mellon in 1962 to create what most of us have known as the White House Rose Garden, a lush garden with flower beds filled with color and roses.

President Ronald Reagan slaps a hockey puck across a special surface in the Rose Garden as he tries his hand with the stick on Sept. 24, 1987, in Washington, D.C. He took aim at the puck during a greeting ceremony for members of the U.S. Olympic hockey team at the White House.
Will a newer, better garden be placed on the pavement? We're hopeful something beautiful will be placed there.
But what?
