NATIONAL MALL.   Step out of the modern world and into a lush paradise, where controlled climates allow plants to thrive as they would naturally. Since the mid-1800s, a wide variety of specimens has been acquired for conservation efforts, including medicinal plants and rare and exotic flora from the tropics. After touring the conservatory, pay a visit to Bartholdi Park, where you'll find fragrant flower beds and a historic fountain by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, designer of the Statue of Liberty. Contact the Botanic Garden for its calendar of special exhibits and outdoor concerts. METRO: Federal Center SW   (© 10Best)

Step inside the U.S. Botanic Garden's majestic glasshouses, where everything from orchids and bromeliads to wood ferns and palm trees flourishes. What's more, these indoor gardens will warm your spirit and brighten your day. (from Southern Living)

The garden is a great place to cool off on a hot DC day.
