United States Botanic Garden

The adjacent Bartholdi Park (home to the iconic fountain) provides a different, cozier fall charm. This area is often beautifully planted with late-season annuals and perennials that highlight fall colors, such as deep purple and rust. The park's smaller scale and thoughtful design make it a great spot for a quiet moment. The fountain, often running year-round, provides a tranquil soundscape contrasting with the dry leaves underfoot. It feels like a miniature European garden tucked into the heart of the capital, offering a lovely, low-key, and romantic autumn stop.
