United States Botanic Garden

Amazing free train exhibit if you happen to come during the holiday season. 2013's theme was World's Fair exhibits from the past. Mini replicas of famous Washingtoninan landmarks add a nice touch.

This is truly the gem of Capitol Hill . A wonderful staff , beautiful flowers , and ever changing exhibits . A nice spot to dine al fresco .

For most visitors, it’s less about seeing how plants grow than making use of the benches , tables, and chairs that the park has to offer—not to mention wonderful views of the Capitol . Read more

Very well organized garden with a variety of different plants and every plant is described ????????????????????????

Visiting the museums ? Security's tightened; many require visitors to pass through metal detectors & have bags searched. Some sites may limit which items may be carried inside. -- Green Guide Editor
