“Nestled within the 446-acre grounds of the United States National Arboretum lies a true hidden gem - the National Bonsai & Penjing Museum. This serene and meticulously curated outdoor exhibit showcases an extraordinary collection of miniature trees, known as bonsai and penjing, that have been painstakingly cultivated and cared for over decades.As you approach the museum's entrance, a sense of peaceful tranquility immediately envelops you. The beautifully landscaped pathways lead you through a series of distinct gardens, each highlighting different styles and traditions of this captivating horticultural art form.The Bonsai Museum's centerpiece is the Bonsai Pavilion, an elegant, traditional Japanese-style structure that houses some of the most extraordinary bonsai specimens in the world. Each tree, carefully selected and maintained by a team of skilled horticulturists, tells a story of patience, precision, and a deep reverence for nature.Wandering through the pavilion, you'll be struck by the remarkable diversity of the bonsai collection, which spans centuries and encompasses a wide range of species – from towering pine trees to delicate Japanese maples, each sculpted into intricate, miniaturized masterpieces. The subtle nuances in the trunk shapes, branch structures, and foliage patterns are a testament to the incredible skill and artistry of the bonsai masters who have cultivated them.Beyond the Bonsai Pavilion, the museum's grounds also feature the Penjing Museum, which showcases the equally captivating art of penjing – the Chinese counterpart to Japanese bonsai. Here, you'll discover a world of imaginative landscapes and whimsical interpretations of nature, where small trees, rocks, and other natural elements are artfully combined to create serene yet dynamic compositions.Throughout the museum, informative signage and thoughtfully designed exhibits provide visitors with a deeper understanding of the history, techniques, and cultural significance of these living works of art. Guided tours and educational programs offer even more insights into the intricate practices and philosophies that underpin the art of bonsai and penjing.Whether you're a seasoned horticulturist, a student of Japanese or Chinese culture, or simply someone in search of a peaceful respite from the hustle and bustle of the city, the National Bonsai & Penjing Museum is a truly remarkable destination. It's a place where the natural world and human artistry converge, inviting visitors to slow down, appreciate the beauty of the miniature, and connect with the timeless rhythms of the natural world.”

“It's very welcoming and clean. The boys met other children at "the house" who traveled here for their own medical journeys. They got to bond with other kids. It really does brighten parents up when you see the outlook of our children playing and talking about life. Changes my perspective as a human being.”

“Great club, especially if you like the concept of an outdoor range and private membership, i.e. you get to know the people you’re shooting with. Very economical, if you’re serious about your shooting and don’t need to rent your gear. Lots of support from fellow members and a chance to try out new things like archery and precision shooting. Membership is open to the public, even though it’s private.”

“[Part of Giving Tuesday 2019] I can only write from the perspective of a volunteer/donor, but Martha's Table seems to have a strong mission towards helping children and families in the DC area. Our class wanted to organize a clothing/food drive, and Martha's Table seemed to have the most bang for your buck. You can always donate in liquid like every other organization, but not as feasible for someone on the student lifestyle. There's plenty of drop-off locations for clothing and baby items across the city. If you can give food items like canned and dried goods, you gotta go to their Maycroft location on Columbia Rd NW. Easy to just reserve a 15-minute appointment on their website and drop off our load. I see their trucks all around the city serving the community - here's to hoping everyone's littles go a long way.”

“Casey Trees is the greatest. This was a recertification for Casey Trees Advocates. We got to practice our skills after a delicious brunch. I've taken workshops on tree identification, planting, pruning, and advocacy, and I've done all of those activities plus removing invasives and surveying street and park trees. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and encouraging. Its mission is restoring, enhancing, and maintaining the tree canopy of the District.”
