Visit the country’s oldest garden, currently celebrating its 200th anniversary. The garden has created an interactive virtual tour with the help of Google Street View, providing 360-degree imagery of its outdoor plants and inside its 30,000 square foot conservatory. Visitors can explore at their own pace. Notable areas include the rose garden, the tropics house, and an outdoor garden that honors the contributions of the nation’s first ladies. The garden’s website also includes fun, educational videos about unusual plants such as the carnivorous pitcher plant and the jade vine. In addition, visitors can listen to an audio tour and view photos of the garden to see how it has developed over the last 200 years.
