The Jacqueline Kennedy Garden at the White House is reportedly facing changes due to President Trump’s proposed plans to construct a new ballroom in the area previously occupied by the East Wing. This development has sparked interest and concern as the garden holds significant historical value.
Satellite images published by Ars Technica (as well as aerial images from a commercial flight out of DC) appeared to show the Kennedy Garden completely torn up as of last week. In photos taken Sunday, construction equipment and debris were seen where the garden’s trees, bushes and I.M. Pei-designed pergola were once located.

As of now, there has been no confirmation from the U.S. National Park Service regarding the potential relocation of the garden’s plants or its iconic pergola. The silence leaves many wondering about the future of this cherished space.
Established in 1965, the garden was named in honor of Jacqueline Kennedy, recognizing her influential role in rejuvenating the White House’s outdoor areas during her husband’s presidency. Her dedication to enhancing these spaces is commemorated in the garden’s design.
Upon its dedication, then-first lady Lady Bird Johnson praised the garden, noting that “every detail of it reflects the unfailing taste of the gifted and gracious Jacqueline Kennedy.” This statement highlights the garden’s significance as a tribute to Kennedy’s legacy.
