Cathédrale nationale de Washington

The Bishop's Garden
Explore the Bishop’s Garden, a three acre, medieval style walled garden located on the grounds of the Washington National Cathedral. The garden includes plants of historical interest along with those native to the mid-atlantic region. We’ll see Boxwood from George Washington’s Hayfield Manor, and cedars and fig trees that trace their origins back to the Holy Land. If you're lucky enough to tour in the early spring, you'll catch the cherry blossoms but the garden is in full bloom through summer and into fall.
