  Season's Greenings: National Parks and Historic Places November 24 - January 2, 2017 Immerse yourself in the sights, smells, and sounds of the season in our annual holiday show Season's Greenings. See thousands of blooms from exotic orchids to a showcase of heirloom and newly developed poinsettia varieties. Throughout the Conservatory, we will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service and the 50th anniversary of the National Historic Preservation Act, including displaying one of the largest indoor trees decked out with ornaments from national parks. In this year's model train show, the trains will chug around, below, through, and above plant-based recreations of iconic national parks and historic places. See the Grand Canyon, Old Faithful Inn, the Gateway Arch, Mount Vernon, the Statue of Liberty, and many more. Our collection of D.C. landmarks, all made from natural materials, will return to fill the Garden Court. Join us as we celebrate the holidays and America's natural and cultural treasures. (less) ...
