Our Sunday in DC, we spent another day wandering around the National Mall. The highlight of the day was the United States Botanic Garden, which is a stone’s throw from the Capital Building. (The view from the picture above is taken from the conservatory entrance.) The garden is funded by Congress, so it’s not a part of the Smithsonian, but it is tax-payer funded. It’s interesting seeing a nice garden with a number of climate zones in the midst of government buildings. What follows is pictures from the outdoor garden. There’s also the plants inside the conservatory, which was a large enough group of pictures that I’ll put some up in a separate post.
