Located near the Tidal Basin, this small but impactful garden is maintained by the National Park Service and serves as a living catalog of tulip varieties. The garden typically features around 10, 000 tulip bulbs, representing approximately 90 different varieties, creating a vibrant tapestry of colors and shapes. Established in 1969, the Floral Library was designed as part of Lady Bird Johnson's capital beautification project. Its purpose goes beyond mere decoration; it serves as an educational resource for visitors and horticulturists alike, showcasing different tulip cultivars and their growth patterns. The garden's design changes annually, offering a new experience each spring. The tulips usually bloom in early April, coinciding with the famous cherry blossom season, and provide an additional floral attraction for visitors. The garden's location near the Tidal Basin places it in proximity to other major landmarks such as the Jefferson Memorial and the Washington Monument, making it an easily accessible stop on many tourists' itineraries. This colorful display not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the area but also provides a tranquil space for reflection and enjoyment amidst the bustling capital. The Floral Library exemplifies Washington D.C.'s commitment to public spaces and natural beauty, offering both locals and visitors a chance to experience the joy of spring in the heart of the nation's capital.
