United States Botanic Garden

The central Conservatory offers a fascinating counter-seasonal experience during the chilly D.C. fall. Stepping from the crisp outdoor air into the muggy warmth of the tropical exhibits is an adventure in itself. While the outdoor gardens are shedding their leaves, the Conservatory is full of vibrant, year-round life. The massive ferns, palms, and exotic flowering plants create a lush, almost overwhelming environment. It’s a spectacular contrast and a perfect refuge on a cold October day, proving that "fall colors" aren't the only way to celebrate nature in autumn.
