..shes a minimalist and since she has no personal depth how can she be expected to provide us with a thing of beauty.

The sidewalk and left the garden alone? There had to have been another way/location to bury the cable for tv appearances and we know that was the main reason for doing this.

She has to be able to do her "runway walk" every time she is filmed.

They need to make it look like she's at all engaged with the 1st Lady role.

I doubt she did much at all, just said "fine, vatever".

Some landscaping company handed her a bunch of pictures or drawings and she picked one. Maybe she said, "Move this bush over here," but that's about it. I don't think it's that horrible. All the pictures I've seen compare the current version with the "old" version in spring when the bulbs and trees are flowering. Obviously they will be very different. I'm certainly not in favor of uprooting live trees, however.

Crabapples are pretty about 2 weeks a year, and they hid the loggia and the columns. A taller species would have been better - get the branches up above the height of the beam and still provide shade in there.

I would hope that it was an actual Landscape Architect who planned this.
