United States Botanic Garden

Created in 1932, Bartholdi Park is named after Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, the sculptor of the historic Fountain of Light and Water located at its center. Bartholdi is best known for designing the Statue of Liberty.

The beds in Bartholdi Park were originally arranged geometrically and planted in a formal style to feature the fountain and to accommodate public gatherings. From the 1940s to the 1960s, the outer perimeter was heavily shaded with large trees. The 1970s through the 1980s brought large displays of annuals and plants native to the region. A native plant garden was added to the early 1990s, the annual beds were removed and small garden rooms were created. Today, Bartholdi Park demonstrates innovative gardening practices that are environmentally friendly, accessible to a diverse range of people, aesthetically pleasing, and promote healthy living.
