As part of an exhibit at the U.S. Botanic Garden, the folks from the Brooklyn Botanic Garden have recreated a brownstone façade and filled the front garden with a host of plants from the BBG. “Celebrating America’s Public Gardens,” which features twelve representative gardens from around the country, kicked off on June 7 with remarks from Representatives Charles Rangel and Yvette Clark. BBG first built the exhibit in Brooklyn, then dissassembled it and shipped it down to D.C. where it now stands at 100 Maryland Avenue through October 8th. Sounds fun to us—we just wish they’d been able to muster a bigger stoop!
