c-span channel American Artifacts Preview: The National Garden

Full program airs on October 19 at 6 pm and 10 pm ET

From the founding of the United States, George Washington encouraged the creation of a botanic garden in the nation’s capital that would inspire and educate citizens on plants and their uses. This vision was realized in 1820 when Congress created the U.S. Botanic Garden on the capitol grounds. The most recent addition, the National Garden, features plants of the Mid-Atlantic, including a Rose Garden and Regional Garden. Plant curator Bill McLaughlin explained the history and use of some of the country’s indigenous plants by Native Americans, colonials, and others.
