Take an exclusive look behind the embassy walls of Washington, DC, and, through 168 colour images, enjoy the gardens found there. Learn the history of the ambassadorial residences and how it has influenced each of their gardens. Included are the residences at the embassies of Australia, Great Britain, Denmark, the European Union, France, Germany, Apostolic Nunciature of the Holy See, Italy, South Korea, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden. Revel in their beauty and read the story behind these breathtaking views, rarely open to the public. Learn the names of important trees and plants at each site.
