Arboretum Access

The U.S. National Arboretum recently announced that, due to sequestration budget pressures, it will be closed to the general public three days per week (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday) beginning May 14, 2013. Field trips and volunteer times will continue as planned. However, the Washington Youth Garden will be inaccessible to public visitors on these days.

We appreciate your support and patience as we navigate these changes.

Summer Internships

The Washington Youth Garden is currently seeking summer interns to work with us during June and July.

Field Trip Assistants will work with our science-based field trip program (SPROUT). A perfect opportunity for anyone looking to build their skills and experience in garden-based education.

Our Summer Communications Intern will put writing and media skills to help share the Youth Garden story.
