The 200th Anniversary
The U.S. Botanic Garden
An Aesthetic Oasis and Environmental Education Center
In the twentieth century, plans for a permanent location for the U.S. Botanic Garden and its greenhouse conservatory were part of the MacMillan Commission's conceptual redesign for the National Mall, including re-imagined proximity of the garden to the U.S. Capitol grounds. New interpretation at the Botanic Garden emphasizes multi-generational environmental stewardship and education, and the promotion of knowledge about native plants. |
