ABOUT

United States Botanic Garden

From roses to orchids, the rainforest to the Mid-Atlantic, rare and endangered plants to the latest in home gardens, you will find a world of plants and environments in the United States Botanic Garden. Any time of year, you'll see something beautiful in bloom at the U.S. Botanic Garden Conservatory, the National Garden, and Bartholdi Park. Groups are welcome to visit the garden for their own educational activities, or to participate in the garden's guided programs. The downloadable workbook How Plants Work: A Guide to Being Green is a plant-based curriculum designed to help students explore four big ideas (Are Plants Like Us, A Puzzle of Plant Parts, Surviving Against the Odds, and Plant Multiplication) during a visit to the Conservatory.

FUN FACTS

The diverse world of plants is perhaps the weirdest, and most fascinating, of all living things. Bamboo can grow over three feet in one day (you can literally watch it grow). There are 600 species of carnivorous plants, which trap and digest insects, frogs, or small birds (if a vegetarian eats this plant, are they still a vegetarian?). The world’s largest flower, Rafflesia, can grow up to three feet in diameter (how big would a bouquet be…). Do a little digging on your next trip to a botanical garden (not literally!), and see what interesting plant facts you can find.
