'All Aboard' at the US Botanic Garden

We went to the United States Botanic Garden’s Season’s Greenings exhibit titled “All Aboard,” which showcases historic train stations from around the country made almost entirely from plant materials.

This is the third time we’ve attended the exhibit, with a different theme every year. The conservatory also always features national landmarks from Washington, D.C., which I didn’t photograph this year (with the exception of the US Capitol and the new Union Station model) and which can be seen at the end of last year’s gallery https://pbase.com/helenpb/america_return_washington_2_botanic
