White House Lawn Gets Private Fix

ScottsMiracle-Gro, a longtime Trump supporter, is donating cash and custom grass to restore the White House South Lawn after damage from the UFC Freedom 250 event — a spectacle that celebrated America’s 250th birthday and featured a giant steel structure called “The Claw.” While officials insist no taxpayer money is involved, the repair bill was already estimated at $700K for grass alone, and nearby Ellipse grounds also suffered. With major renovations elsewhere in Washington under scrutiny, this lawn revival — set to finish next spring — highlights how high-profile events can reshape even the most iconic public spaces.
