Trump wants to pave over Rose Garden grass

March 19 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump said Wednesday he plans to pave over the White House Rose Garden because "grass, it just doesn't work." Trump talked about the changes during an interview with Fox News that aired Wednesday night.

Trump and Fox News host Laura Ingraham walked the grounds of the White House, and then he showed off changes in the Oval Office, including the addition of diminutive gold cherubs.

He said the Rose Garden is "supposed to have events -- every event you have, it's soaking wet, it's soaking wet, and people can't, and the women with the high heels, it just didn't work.

"And we have a gorgeous stone and everything else, but, you know, we use it for press conferences, and it doesn't work, because the people fall into the wet. ... The roses stay, no, it's the Rose Garden, all of this stays. It's just the center section."

Trump personally reviewed the plans for the Rose Garden recently with White House curators.

Last weekend, CNN reported that Trump plans to transform the garden into a patio-style seating area, much like the one at Mar-a-Lago, his private estate in Palm Beach, Fla.

Trump has made announcements at the Rose Garden, including the nomination of fellow Associate Amy Coney Barrett in September
