The garden is beautiful and period-appropriate to the Castle building, please leave it as-is!

Obviously one of the most misguided management initiatives in a city full if them, Preserve the Haupt Garden and put museum expansion elsewhere.

This amazing rooftop garden is my favorite place at the Mall, I visit many times during the year -even in the winter, please don't take it away!

The beautiful Haupt Garden was a gift that was certainly intended to be in perpetuity. The idea of destroying is shocking ingratitude and should certainly make potential donors hesitant if they think their gift might be destroyed in a few years.

The Haupt Garden, indeed the entire space between the Sackler and the Museum of African Art is embedded now in the history of the Smithsonian and the Mall. To demolish this is a travesty, a great waste and should be unthinkable.

Not every space needs to be buildings, they themselves must breath.

This garden is a treasured part of the Smithsonian setting. It would be so destructive to remove beauty from this setting. unique in the city today.

The garden is such a lovely place of peace and quiet in the constant noise that is the national mall.

Please plan for a suitable, flora-filled setting otherwise, for wildlife habitat and mind relaxation, so as to not mar the south view of the castle.

Removing this garden would be unforgivably wasteful.
