National Wildlife Federation Certifies the Nation's 100,000th Habitat
It is with great pride and excitement that National Wildlife Federation announces the certification of the US Botanic Garden's National Garden as the 100,000 Certified Wildlife Habitat™.
Located in our nation's capital, the National Garden contains a Regional Garden that is a showcase for native plants from both the Piedmont and Atlantic Coastal Plain geographical areas. In arranging the plantings, great emphasis was placed on "right plant, right place," in order to reduce the need for supplemental irrigation.
The National Garden officially received its certification by National Wildlife Federation on Saturday, September 27.
