This is a unique garden for all who visit the Smithsonian to enjoy. It would be a great loss.

Absolutely beautiful and peaceful garden. I love the little hiding places. There seems to always be a place away from the crowds.

This is my favorite garden in DC and a lovely place for quiet reflection.

The garden is a treasure and a real highlight during our visits to the Smithsonian. My young children would be crushed if it were to be demolished.

I have always lovwed this garden and would hate to have it disappear. I would certainly never contribute money to he Smithsonian if I thought the results would be "disappeared."

I have enjoyed the garden for many years and feel it is in keeping with the beautiful design of the grounds and buildings.

Absolutely. It's unimaginable that the garden and its setting could be replaced by the impersonal and downright weird design proposed by BIG

This garden is a beloved space and important site for many Smithsonian Gardens living collections and educational programs.

Why on earth destroy such a lovely garden? Why?

Wouldn't keeping it be the greener thing to do?

This garden is unique in Washington and a prize gem on the mall. The mall is changing with the times, but tampering with the Castle and the Haupt Gardens is senseless. The Smithsonian must pay closer attention to the Castle itself and work WITH the Castle and these gardens. I personally cannot imagine anything more beautiful than these gardens on this particular site. Both the Castle and the gardens are important elements of the european heritage of our nation and our culture, irreplaceable elements.

When the 2 underground museums were built, we were promised that the garden would remain intact. The Smithsonian should stick to its word
