The United States Botanic Garden is located on Capitol Hill and is run and budgeted by Congress. The Garden is made up of three separate components. The Conservatory consists of several sections, featuring various species of plant life collected from around the globe. A park on the other side of the garden includes many of these species and is designed to inspire visitors to become involved with gardening-related pursuits in their own homes. Finally, a production facility helps research new methods of propagation of plant life and prepares new plants for display in the Garden and in plant shows around the country.
