Photograph by Terry Rowe of the Bartholdi Fountain, U.S. Botanic Garden, Washington, DC.
Created in 1932 when the U.S. Botanic Garden was relocated, the park was renamed in 1985 after Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, the sculptor of the historic fountain located at its center.
The gas lamps made the fountain a popular destination in the 1880s as one of the first attractions in the nation's capital to be brightly illuminated at night.
Originally, the beds in Bartholdi Park were geometrically arranged and planted in formal classical style to feature the fountain and to accommodate public gatherings. The plantings have been redesigned during the last decade and are continuously updated to reflect modern trends in American horticulture and new plant introductions.
