Nice little gem of a garden behind the Smithsonian castle and African art museum, and a must see. It's a nice shady, peaceful place to relax and beat the heat, and hustle and bustle, but right next to the National Mall. As an added treat, it's connected by a brick footpath to the beautiful Haupt garden.
Quaint little garden with Asian vibes. Off the beaten path and relatively unknown.
Sort of secluded garden area near the Smithsonian Castle Information Center and the Freer Galleries. Has benches, cafe seating, various plants and shrubs, best viewing in the warmer growing seasons.
I had no idea this neat “garden” was here! I’m so happy I was able to walk through because it was totally worth the time! I 100% recommend walking through here.
This place is located near the Smithsonian Castle! We visited expecting blooms, but the location didn’t disappoint us! Great views to take candid clicks. You can enter this place thru Castle or there is a private entry on the left side of the castle. Must visit if you want one of kind ‘moon gate’ to take some great pictures 👍🏻
Absolutely beautiful. Nice little hidden gem. It is best in March during the Cherry Blossoms, although it had its own charm in January too. It's located in the Smithsonian and there are multiple ways to get to it, the nearest would be on Jefferson.
