Thousands. People can't believe they actually built that 'thing'. It's a horrible JOKE!
It's even uglier in person.

Over the past two weeks, workers have been hoisting 90 species of plants and more than four truckloads of soil atop the William J. Clinton Presidential Library and Museum to create a garden on an area surrounding Clinton's penthouse apartment.
Instead of bare concrete, the glass and steel building in Little Rock, Arkansas will be topped with strawberries, ferns, switch grass, roses and other greenery.

The $165-million library complex is the first presidential library to earn an award from the U.S. Green Committee for environmental design. Flooring is made from recycled rubber tires, solar panels sit on another section of the roof and the parking lot has bicycle racks and charging stations for electric cars.
Although the garden will not be open to library visitors
Landscaping Bubba’s patio. I’m sure that’ll impress the babes.
It'll be Bubba's secret garden where he can woo his female friends in private.
You mean, like Rush says, the Clinton Library and Massage Parlor?
What? No Astro Turf?
Well, now we know where all the PLANTS are!
I’ll bet he has astro turf somewhere in that ugly *ss thing.
“Debbie Shock, who is facilities and operations director for the Clinton Foundation, says the garden will also be maintained in an eco-friendly manner. That means no gasoline-powered mowers and no chemicals...”
Sheep?
Guaranteed to be inhaled.....
I can’t wait until that flat roof starts leaking with the soil, water and plants. Of course; there will be fertilizer too. Imagine bull you know what. What a smell that’s going to be. LOL
When the rust sets it; it will truly be the trash trailer of the century.
Any body know if it ever has any visitors?
Cows as in Monica, the double wide Intern!
Thousands. People can't believe they actually built that 'thing'. It's a horrible JOKE!

It is so ugly.
U.S. Green Committee? Never heard of them. Did they mean the U.S. Green Buildings Council?
If so, you can be sure this award is all political. Four truckloads of dirt isn't likely to cover a whole lot of roof, and this notes that "another section of roof" has solar panels. Bicycle racks & the like are part of the LEED silliness too, wherein your office building can get more green points if certain percentages of the occupants don't commute in single-occupancy vehicles.
Look at all that concrete! How un-green.
Wouldn’t strewing the top of it with old car tires be more in keeping with the occupants?
