The Magnolia Garden is open daily from 9 a.m. to dusk, except on all major federal holidays. It is an outdoor area, but there are locking gates at the entrance. The Magnolia Garden is not wheelchair accessible.
Inspired by George Washington's interest in magnolia trees, the Garden Club of America donated the Magnolia Garden in 1959. Thirteen magnolia trees line the garden's perimeter, representing the 13 original colonies. The charming garden bursts with delicate pink hues in early spring, among which are Saucer Magnolias, Narcissus Snow Azaleas, English Oaks, Honey Locusts, Cotoneasters, and a ground cover of English Ivy.
