Sustainability Themed Exhibits
Deadline: September 28/October 30, 2007
Washington, DC (September 13, 2007)- Each year from Memorial Day through Columbus Day, the United States Botanic Garden (USBG) presents temporary exhibits around the Conservatory and in the outdoor gardens. It has become a Washington tradition for office workers, visitors from across the nation and around the world, and Capitol Hill staff to relax or picnic on the Terrace in view of the U.S. Capitol surrounded by beautiful, themed gardens and exhibits.
For 2008, the USBG will invite non-profit organizations; municipal, state, or federal government agencies; and public gardens from across the United States to contribute to this exhibit. On the Conservatory Terrace, each participant will have an area for a garden "room," a structure, or demonstration that illustrates or incorporates an aspect of sustainability. In the outdoor gardens, sculptures, structures, or interpretive panels will be artfully placed to demonstrate or represent sustainability concepts.
The purpose of the exhibits is to provide an informative and attractive demonstration of the design and implementation of sustainable practices as they apply to gardens, garden practices, and living in our landscape more sustainably.
