Kahlil Gibran Memorial Garden
In the midst of the wooded ravine known as Normanstone Park, the Kahlil Gibran garden memorializes the arch-deity of soupy spiritual poetry. Its centerpieces are a moody bust of the Lebanese mystic and a star-shaped fountain surrounded by flowers, hedges and limestone benches engraved with various Gibranisms: 'We live only to discover beauty. All else is a form of waiting.' Trails just north link to both Rock Park and Glover Archbold Park.

Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens
The only national park devoted to water plants is across the Anacostia River from the National Arboretum, in Anacostia Park. The aquatic gardens started as the hobby of a Civil War veteran and operated for 56 years as a commercial water garden until the federal government purchased them in 1938. Highlights include the lovely water lilies, which are the star of an annual festival every July.
