Please keep the garden intact and keep the classical feel of the plaza. Its doesnt need to be "modernized". Its unique to the Mall as is.

SAVE THIS! It's a classical French garden and a cultural space in its own right!

Please re-consider the South Mall Campus Plan so that the Haupt Garden and current surrounding architectural and landscape features are retained.

Although no longer living in the District, during two such periods the visitation to these remarkable respites from the otherwise hectic Mall was a frequent and enjoyable rest stop. Please preserve this unique and treasured garden.

The existing garden and Sackler Gallery and African Art Museum entry pavilions are historic and provide a harmonious relationship to the intimate gardens of the Smithsonian.

As a supporter of the Smithsonian Institution, I urge the Institution’s Secretary to re-consider the South Mall Campus Plan so that the Haupt Garden and surrounding architectural and landscape features are retained. Respectfully, the undersigned JGSix

Destroying the Garden means destroying one of the most contemplative oases in the Capitol's monumental core.

This garden is so important to both tourists and Washington area residents, enhancing their visits to the Smithsonian and the Mall.

The proposed replacement for the garden completely ignores the peaceful and contemplative nature of what is there now.

Love the Garden -- why replace something so beautiful? The replacement would have to be priceless works of art (which I doubt is in the budget).

Keep the gardens. The new master plan architecturally disrepects the current buildings and aesthetics.

Stop the madness! This garden is a beautiful sanctuary across the street from some of the ugliest government buildings in this city.
