Description

A beautifully illustrated guide to the colorful gardens surrounding the Smithsonian museums along the National Mall. Each garden is unique in its design, plant materials, and purpose, complementing the museums they border and enhancing the overall museum experience. The Smithsonian Gardens showcase a diverse range of styles and themes, from gardens reflecting distinct cultural influences to an intimate four-season wonder filled with exotic plants. You'll discover gardens designed for contemplation, recreation, and even butterfly gardening, as well as historic gardens that evoke classic American flower gardens and Victory gardens from World War II. With this guide, you'll gain access to the Smithsonian's resources and knowledge to solve common gardening problems and create your own beautiful outdoor spaces.
