WASHINGTON (AP) — First lady Melania Trump has dedicated a new garden for patients at one of America’s leading children’s hospitals.
Patients will be able to feel the sun, breathe fresh air and see the Washington Monument from the new rooftop garden at Children’s National Medical Center.
Mrs. Trump quietly visited the garden in March, and she and several children planted seeds for morning glories, said to be a symbol of love and renewal.
In remarks before she helped cut a blue ribbon to dedicate and formally open the garden, Mrs. Trump said she looked forward to returning after everything they planted is in full bloom.
The garden is dedicated to all of America’s first ladies. Biographies of every first lady since Rosalynn Carter adorn a hallway leading to the garden.

Just to be petty, when Michelle Obama planted gardens they produced health food. This garden encourages people to sit still.
Yes. Well, that’s going to be a bit touch and go.
The only “healing garden” I want to see her dedicate will be marked with a headstone etched with “TRUMP.”
Great - lose several national monuments and get…a flower bed on top of a building?
I’ll join you in that pettiness because the first thing I thought was - still plagiarizing Michelle I see.
