Review:
The United States Botanic Garden is one of North America's oldest botanic gardens, located on the National Mall near the United States Capitol Building. The free-admission botanic garden, which was established in 1820, is home to beautiful secluded Bartholdi Park, named in honor of Statue of Liberty designer Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, along with a conservatory building showcasing tropical, subtropical, and arid plants, including collections of orchids and endangered plant species. Thematic exhibitions are showcased within the conservatory throughout the summer months. Visitors can also explore the newly-cultivated National Garden, which is home to a rose garden, a mid-Atlantic showcase garden, a butterfly garden, and the First Ladies' Water Garden. All gardens are open daily and are free to explore during daylight hours.
