This is an odd question to ask while all of this crap is happening.

Does anyone know what happened to Michelle's garden at the white house?

1. Only that the, ahem, Trumps had no plans to maintain it.

2. Not sure but wouldn't surprise me if they put in a parking lot

Joanie Mitchell reference.

Good question.

4. I saw a report on CNN, I think....

She made efforts to make the site a permanent garden by building concrete planting areas, etc. Not certain of the details but they did attempt to keep the garden going.

Hopefully, the kitchen staff will maintain it.

Hopefully.....

5. Last I heard it is still there

It's not like Michelle was the one out there weeding it.

But who knows, if Trump keeps railing about President Obama he may order it ripped up.

6. I seem to remember Lawrence O'Donnell

doing a segment on funding being appropriated and some sort of cement placed so that the garden can and should stay put...wouldn't put it past a bulldozer being used to decimate it tho.

7. i think they are leaving it alone but I'm sure it's mostly because there is no interest

in doing anything else for trump.

8. It is being maintained

10. Thank you for the information.

I sure hope trump forgets about it and does not turn it into a golf course.

9. Interestingly, in the Wikipedia entry on the garden

it says that the Clintons wanted to plant a White House garden, but were not allowed to (so they put a small one on the roof). Odd, if true.
