Description

The U.S. National Arboretum is a collections-based research facility and public garden of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Established in 1927 by an act of Congress, the Arboretum aims to increase the aesthetic, environmental and economic importance of landscape and ornamental plants. The attraction does so through gardens and exhibits, long-term botanical research and conservation of resources. The gorgeous, 446-acre property makes for an inspiring and visually captivating visit at any time of the year. Nine miles of winding roadways and many more paths connect the gardens and natural areas across the grounds. Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the beautiful scenery! Moderate walking.
