The Archives of American Gardens (AAG)offers landscape designers, historians, researchers, and garden enthusiasts access to a collection of over 80,000 photographic images and records documenting historic and contemporary American gardens.
Horticultural Artifact Collection

Now numbering over 1,600 items, the Horticulture Services Division's Garden Furnishings and Horticultural Artifacts Collection spans the period from 1835 to 1955. Hundreds of pieces are exhibited in the Smithsonian gardens and interior plant displays in the Smithsonian museums surrounding the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

Horticulture Services Division strives to cultivate an extremely diverse array of orchids from all over the world. With close to 10,000 plants in the collection, new acquisitions are selected carefully each year based on their display quality, educational value, beauty, rarity and how they complement the present collection.
