We went down to the U.S. Botanic Garden on the National Mall to see their annual “Seasons Greenings” holiday exhibit. We used to go every year, but it wasn’t staged during the pandemic, and we missed it last year. They’ve moved their wildly popular model train display outdoors, accompanied by a delightful collection of pollinators, but still had the DC landmarks made entirely out of plants inside the conservatory. I didn’t photograph all the landmarks again, just the new ones; the others appear at the very beginning and towards the end of this gallery http://pbase.com/helenpb/america_return_washington_2_botanic
