Season's Greenings 2023 at the U.S. Botanic Garden

The U.S. Botanic Garden (USBG) will offer a garden-wide "Season's Greenings" holiday display this year, running from Thanksgiving Day through New Year's Day (Thursday, November 23, through Monday, January 1, 2024) closed Christmas Day (Monday, December 25).

As part of the festivities, G-gauge model trains will run between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. each day in the gated outdoor gardens, and the Conservatory will feature poinsettias, holiday decor, and D.C. landmarks made from plants. Trains may not operate during inclement weather.

The Garden will offer extended evening hours on three Thursdays (December 14, 21 and 28). The Conservatory and train display will be open until 8:00 p.m. these evenings, with live seasonal music to enjoy while exploring the holiday displays and plants in the Conservatory.

Tickets are not required to view the trains or any part of the USBG. Full details are available at www.usbg.gov/holiday.

The U.S. Botanic Garden was formally placed under the jurisdiction of the Joint Committee on the Library of Congress in 1856 and has been administered through the Architect of the Capitol since 1934.
