German-American Friendship Garden

The German-American Friendship Garden sits on Constitution Avenue in Washington D.C., directly between the White House and the Washington Monument. The small garden was laid out in 1988 to mark the tricentennial of the first organized German emigration to America. Geometrically clipped beds and paths nod to Baroque garden tradition, while a central inscription commemorates the 300-year celebration. Its location on the edge of the National Mall makes it a quiet stop between the larger monuments. Open round the clock, free to enter.
