Also known as the Tulip Library, this charming spot is one of Washington, DC’s hidden gems!
The Floral Library was established in 1969 as part of Lady Bird Johnson’s Capital Beautification Project, maintained by the National Park Service. Depending on the season, the beds are filled with either tulips or annuals each year.
Tucked between the Washington Monument and the Tidal Basin—at the corner of Maine and Independence Avenues, SW—this is just one and a half acres.
These photos were taken on April 4th, the day we visited the Tidal Basin hoping to catch the cherry blossoms, only to discover they had already faded. But stumbling upon this colorful tulip garden brought such a comfort and joy!
