 The
Smithsonian’s Natural History Museum has just opened the exhibit
Butterflies
+ Plants: Partners in Evolution
featuring an interior Butterfly Pavilion. The Pavilion
highlights multiple species of tropical butterflies and over
250 nectar and pollen producing plants in an enclosed climate-controlled
setting. Horticulture Services supplies the plants for the
exhibit and devotes 3,000 square feet of growing space to
assure the plants are grown in a pesticide-free environment.

Many
visitors are surprised to learn that the Smithsonian Institution
includes a number of "outdoor museums." These alternative
centers for learning are the colorful and attractive gardens
that surround the Smithsonian museums along the National Mall.
Before going into the museums, discover the history, art,
and science that await you outside the Smithsonian.
