united states botanical garden

here is a quick shot while driving past the united states botanical garden earlier this week. the botanical garden is a great place to visit in dc this time of year because it is so warm and very humid inside due to the orchid show: great for soothing winter's dry skin and blistered spirit here on the snowbound east coast. i heart those crazy-huge greenhouses!

culinary arts festival at the botanic gardens

the united states botanical garden is celebrating the relationship of plants, food and culture today at their culinary arts festival. no reservations are required to enjoy edible demos, delicious tastings and the beauty of a series of highly stylized garden rooms. the botanic gardens are awesome anyway, so head over there 10-3 today and enjoy!
