Steeped in history, the United States Botanic Garden inspires people to appreciate, study, and conserve plants to enrich society locally and globally. More than 200 years ago, George Washington had a vision for the capital city that included a botanic garden that would demonstrate and promote the importance of plants to the young nation. Established by the U.S. Congress in 1820, the U.S. Botanic Garden is the oldest continuously operating public garden in the United States, with collections showcasing economic plants, orchids, native plants, cacti, roses, and more.
