Surprise Proposal at The National Arboretum in Washington, DC

The National Arboretum was established in 1927 and is home to a wide variety of trees, shrubs, and other plants. The gardens and collections at the Arboretum include the Azalea Collection, which features over 50 varieties of azaleas; the Fern Valley Native Plant Collection, which showcases plants native to the mid-Atlantic region; and the National Bonsai & Penjing Museum, which houses over 150 bonsai and penjing trees.

The columns are arranged in a semicircle and are surrounded by a large lawn, making it a popular spot for picnics and events.

The Arboretum also features a variety of educational programs for visitors of all ages, including guided tours, workshops, and classes. It also offers a wide range of research opportunities for scientists and students, and also plays an important role in plant conservation.
