Move over National Arboretum, the D.C. area’s “best spot to take in Mother Nature” is in Arlington, according to WTOP.
The radio station’s Matt About Town segment says that Arlington National Cemetery is the best place to quietly take in nature’s splendor.
More, below, from a write-up on the WTOP website and a video posted on Instagram.
During his walking tour, Matt talked to many guests who admitted to being blown away by the vastness of Arlington National Cemetery’s 639 acres of plant life.
In talking with the cemetery’s horticulture experts, he also realized that the work being done at Arlington National to preserve plants and trees adds a whole other dimension to the remembrance of those who have served in the military and are buried at ANC — something that resonates this time of year.
The write-up notes that the cemetery has one remaining event — “Turf and Trees” on Friday, June 7 — as part of its Spring Horticulture Tours. It has other history- and nature-oriented events and tours throughout the year.
