First Lady Melania Trump is leaving her mark on the White House's grounds.
Her office says she'll be planting a sapling from the Eisenhower Oak tree that's near the Kennedy Garden on Monday on the South Lawn. The tree will replace one that the White House says was excavated.
It was not immediately clear where on the South Lawn the excavated tree was.
On Friday afternoon, the first lady, who was clad in a white skirt, white Michael Kors jacket and black blouse with white polka dots, was making her way to Ohio for a Republican Party dinner with her husband. She and President Trump were also visiting a children's hospital.
Her office announced plans to hold a tree-planting ceremony at the White House on Monday before their White House departure.
