Each year, the U.S. Botanic Garden creates displays to give visitors one of the region's most delightful holiday exhibitions.

Come explore the seven seas, guided by the light of 33 lighthouses and navigate your way through this nautical wonderland. Get your telescopes primed and keep an eye out for sea creatures, mermaids and even a pirate ship, all created with plant parts. Don't worry if you get seasick; train travel is still possible with our marvelous model trains!

The best times to visit Season's Greenings are weekdays early in December or on select Tuesday and Thursday evenings in December when the Conservatory is open until 8 p.m. with live seasonal music.

Aside from these extended holiday hours, the Conservatory is open every day of the year, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., free of charge.
