First Lady Melania Trump has visited the Children’s National hospital in Washington D.C. ahead of the Fourth of July. 

On Thursday, Melania visited the hospital to celebrate the Fourth of July with patients.

She made crafts with the children and their families, then went for a stroll with them and the hospital’s President and CEO, Michelle Riley-Brown, to the “Garden Room.”

The Bunny Mellon Healing Garden was named in honor of Rachel “Bunny” Mellon, a friend of first lady Jacqueline Kennedy.

Mellon, a philanthropist and avid gardener, designed the Rose Garden and other White House gardens during the Kennedy era. 

The garden was named in honor of America’s first ladies, who have long supported the hospital and its patients.

Melania and the children planted American flag windmills throughout the hospital’s grounds, and several of the children held stuffed bears as they strolled around with the first lady.
