Guests are invited to stroll around what's left of the White House grounds and share photos on social media using the
hashtag #WHGarden. Visitors can tour the non-construction part of the South Lawn including the new helipad, the Rose Garden patio, and Michelle Obama's White House Kitchen Garden.
The 2026 Fall Garden tour will be held on Oct 17-18. Details here.

*Please note that many of the trees depicted as well as the entire East Wing of the White House have since been demolished.

Do not become numb to how disgusting this is— an American president encouraging an enemy to “take out” two major American cities. It is not funny.
