United States Botanic Garden

A must-visit is the Medicinal Plants and Economic Plants exhibits within the Conservatory and the outdoor Aromatic Garden. During the fall, these sections highlight the spices and herbs central to traditional holiday cooking and wellness—think cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and various mints. The staff often has educational displays or small guides pointing out the botanical origins of fall flavors. It’s a unique, intellectual way to experience the season through scent and knowledge, connecting the plants you see to the food and traditions you celebrate.
