U.S.
Botanic Garden Production Facility Open House
USBG Staff
Only once each year
do we invite the public to see our growing facility, the largest greenhouse
complex supporting a public garden in the United States. The site, completed
in 1994, includes 85,000 square feet under glass divided into 34 greenhouse
bays and 16 environmental zones. In addition to foliage and nursery crops,
you’ll see all of the USBG collection not currently on display, including
orchids, medicinal plants, insectivorous plants, and rare and endangered
species. Register for one of the tour times to meet the growers, ask questions,
and wander through this working wonderland of plants.
