Just 5 minutes drive, a large parkland with drives / walks through carefully curated trees and grasslands. Fantastic for spring blossom and fall colors. Access to the riverbank for "away from the city" picnics.

DC is a great place to see flowering trees, bird watch and walk walk walk... the National Arboretum has it all. If you are lucky you will see the nesting bald eagles who have made the highest point in the arboretum their own.

Located northeast of downtown Washington, D.C., the United States National Arboretum rewards its visitors with beautiful outdoor spaces. The arboretum’s outdoor collections range from dogwoods to azaleas to magnolias, but none of the plants are the area’s primary attraction. Instead, most travelers make the trek here for the National Capitol Columns and its bonsai collection. The National Capitol Columns were built in 1828, decorated the Capitol building until 1958 and found their way to the arboretum in the 1980s. Now, the columns serve as an excellent place to snap photos or enjoy a picnic. The area’s bonsai trees sit in the National Bonsai & Penjing Museum, which boasts an astounding 300 miniature trees that staff members rotate through the museum’s three pavilions and special exhibits gallery.
