Melania dedicates new healing garden at the Children's National Medical Center with a touching play-date filled with hugs at the hospital... Melania dedicated the new Bunny Mellon Healing garden at the Children's National Medical Center Friday. The First Lady was pictured spending time in the garden with young patients following Friday's ceremony. The new garden allows patients to spend time outside while enjoying views of the Washington Monument. It is dedicated to all of the prior first ladies and named for an American horticulturist and gardener...

MAGA list ping!
My Big Trump List ping!
MMAGA = Melania Making America Great Again
GOOD for her. Kudos to Melania!
What a difference from the last FLOTUS. And can you imagine Bill in this pic, if Hillary had won? He would be hitting on the kids.
Beautiful lady.
Has she had Moochelle’s preposterous garden tilled under (over?) yet?
Thanks Albion.......
The last FLOTUS was an angry, bitter chip on her shoulder beast...
Thank you for the ping. She is one beautiful lady - inside & out.
No; I was there last week and saw it. It's just a small kitchen garden plot in the huge and gorgeous White House grounds, and there's nothing preposterous in growing vegetables. Every president and many First Ladies have planted a tree or made a garden addition to the grounds. There is a White House Garden Tour in the spring and the fall. The Marine Band played on the balcony and President Trump came out onto the balcony and waved to us!!
Thank you. Melania has been doing a lot of wonderful things that most media has chosen not to cover.
I’m not calling vegetable gardens perposterous. Mrs. Eagle tends to hers every day. I meant the idea that Moochelle wiled away her days tending to her garden was preposterous.
So sweet to see how the children warmed to her serene and motherly concern. You can tell she cares about these children. She recognized a child from her previous visit, asking how she was doing.
Melania is clearly in a class of her own.
Only Jacqueline Kennedy and Nancy Reagan are comparable.
What about Laura Bush?
Look at the people not in the center of the photo?
Do they appear relaxed, or is that a forced smile?
Not enough photos of this event.
The all time Champ, Eleanor Roosevelt.
She was the best at making those around her comfortable.
No one ever relaxed near Ms Clinton.
Laur was a librarian. I would have added Lady Bird to the list, I went to her Wild Flower Garden in Texas, she was a very smart and cultured woman too.
Not putting down librarians, but Melania’s beauty comes from the inside and radiates from her awesome classic looks like a glowing light.
She keeps this up she may even eclipse Jackie.
Damn, I have no band on my balcony.
I don’t know how to post the picture of the little boy with the hat hugging Melania, but its worth the cover of a magazine. Very sweet.
