Public figures like Melania Trump, the former first lady, continue to generate substantial discussion even after exiting the White House. She has generally refrained from public appearances and social media engagement since President Joe Biden’s inauguration. However, when Melania decided to break her silence to respond to a long-standing critique, it was a moment of surprise for many.

Historically, first ladies have customized the White House in their unique ways, often through interior redesigns or refurbishments. The Rose Garden, famously transformed by Jackie Kennedy, is perhaps the most well-known illustration of this. This horticultural area was originally established by First Lady Ellen Wilson, replacing the colonial garden created by First Lady Edith Roosevelt, President Theodore Roosevelt’s wife.

Jackie Kennedy enlisted landscape designer Rachel Lambert Mellon to rejuvenate the Rose Garden in 1962. Mellon created an enchanting space brimming with vibrant flower beds and charming roses.

The garden has since served as a tranquil haven for presidents to ponder and find solace during crises. The Rose Garden, under various presidencies, has also served as a picturesque backdrop for press conferences and special occasions.READ MORE BELOW
