The U.S. Botanic Garden, famous for its holiday garden display that features landmark buildings from on The Mall made entirely from plant material, is adding a couple of new features to its tiny White House this holiday season: a swing set like the one used by the Obama girls and a vegetable garden.
The structures are the creation of Joe Busse, who finds much of what he uses to create these incredible miniatures in the woods around his Kentucky home: seeds, bark, pods, stems and such.
The display will be open to the public until Jan. 10. Admission is free and it is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and until 8 p.m. on Tuesday's and Thursdays. (The building will be closed Dec. 8 for a government function.)
