Informations supplémentaires:
The Enid A Haupt Garden is a 4.2-acre public garden located in the heart of Washington DC, adjacent to the National Mall and the Smithsonian Castle. Established in 1987, this urban oasis offers a harmonious blend of formality and informality, with meticulously maintained garden beds, walkways, and seating areas, designed to provide respite in the midst of the city's bustling environment. One of the standout features of the Enid A Haupt Garden in spring is the blossoming of Saucer Magnolias or Magnolia × soulangeana. These trees, often referred to as tulip magnolias because of their large, tulip-shaped blooms, produce a splendid display of pink and white flowers, which draw both residents and tourists alike. The blossoms, set against the backdrop of the iconic red sandstone Smithsonian Castle, create a picturesque setting, making it a popular spot for photography. The garden's history is deeply intertwined with philanthropist Enid Annenberg Haupt, who was passionate about public gardens and horticulture. Her generous endowment ensures the garden remains open to the public, free of charge, and serves as an educational platform to promote the importance of plants in our environment. Besides the Saucer Magnolias, the garden houses a variety of plants, representing different global habitats, echoing the Smithsonian Institution's ethos of promoting education and understanding of diverse cultures and environments. The harmonious design and thoughtful placement of plants encourage exploration and offer a multisensory experience to visitors.
