Demolishing those landscape features would be a travesty. Please reconsider!

Save the peaceful and perfect Enid Haupt garden , who's design compliments the Castle building, and
adds character to a place many use to rest and relax and reflect on the beauty of the city. PLEASE FIND A WAY!

This garden is a beautiful oasis, a place of respite and contemplation for many in a hectic world. We have too few gardens in urban settings. They are important - for us humans, and for the various birds, insects, and other animals with whom we share our space.

Unbelievable the plan for getting rid of the beautiful Haupt Garden has not been scrapped by now. It's one of the most elegant, peaceful places in Washington. As a member of the Alexandria (VA) Beautification Commission I am dedicated to saving beautiful outdoor environments and creating more of them. The replacement plan is very nice--for someplace else. We have enough grassy mall areas. Haupt Garden is a jewel we must save.

My family has enjoyed this garden for many years. This garden should remain as a peaceful refuge from the often crowded National Mall.

I so love this garden. I am also a paying dues number for the Smithsonian. This would be an absolute tragedy to change it. Please leave it alone.

Washington may be a city of parks but not necessarily a city of gardens. We need this garden to remain as a peaceful refuge from the often crowded and boisterous National Mall.

This beautiful garden is a much needed respite in DC. Please do not go with another boring minimalist design that are already all over urban areas. The current style fits the castle architecture, and I learn so much from the variety of vegetation in the current Haupt Garden.

First the courtyard at the National Poteait Gallery, then the invertibrate exhibit at the National Zoo, and now this. It is shameful. Keep the clever modernism for some modern context.

This beautiful landmark has been my favorite landmark in the Mall since I first moved to the District. I urge the Institution's Secretary to re-work the South Mall Campus Plan so that the Haupt Garden is retained.

This is a great, interesting garden with many fascinating plants. I have often admired the magnificent gates at the south end, with their great ironwork. It would be tragedy if this great garden were destroyed !

The Haupt Garden is an oasis, a refueling, refreshing, reinvigorating pause on the Mall. Please protect it and keep it safe.

It's such a beautiful and restful place with lovely flowers, and a nice escape from the Mall. I enjoy it often, especially when visiting the Sackler.
