United States Botanic Gardens

A few weeks ago, while we were in Washington, D.C. we visited 
Free to all, they always do a beautiful job decorating the gardens for Christmas.
The D.C. Landmarks,
and all of the Monuments are made completely of plant material.
Each building's complexity determines how long it will take to create.
The U.S. Capital took more than 600 hours to build.

  This page describes how they were made and what materials were used!
