About this event
The U.S. Botanic Garden’s holiday exhibition combines seasonal planting with a model-train display celebrating national parks and historic places. Landscapes and buildings are recreated using plant materials, alongside the garden’s collection of Washington landmarks.
The announced exhibition runs November 26 through January 3 in the Conservatory. This record confirms the exhibition season, not an individual timed ticket or a special evening opening. Check the garden’s visitor information for the hours and access rules that apply to your chosen day.
