Federal News Radio’s Nicole Ogrysko speaks with Recreation News Editor Marvin Bond about interesting things to do in and near the nation’s capital. This week:

• the United States Botanical Garden is honoring the 100th anniversary of our country’s national parks with a special floral display. As the U.S. Botanical Garden website explains, “this year’s holiday show features models representing more than 50 national parks and historic sites — all made from plants and natural materials!” All of our nation’s 50 states, as well as the District of Columbia, are represented by these vegetative replicas.
