During the holiday season, the U.S. Botanic Garden presents a unique exhibit featuring model trains and incredible replicas of Washington, DC's most famous buildings and monuments. The garden railway was designed by Paul Busse of Applied Imagination in Alexandria, Kentucky. The exhibit is truly amazing with all of the buildings made of real plant materials! Adults and children will be fascinated by this special Christmas-time treat in the nation's capital.
2009 Event Dates: November 26 through January 10, 2010.
Location: U.S. Botanic Garden, next to the U.S. Capitol at First St., NW. Washington, DC.
