# Library of Congress Landscape Renovation

The planting beds in the front of the Madison Building were completely redesigned in the Spring of 2006. The updated design was a collaborative effort of three institutions. Matthew Evans, senior landscape architect of the United States Capitol created the design, Holly H. Shimizu, executive director of the United States Botanic Garden selected the plants and Carl Morgan, gardener supervisor at the Library of Congress and his crew removed the old bushes, prepared the beds and did the planting. Careful consideration was given to the form, beauty and durability of the plants selected and their placement. About half of the plants are native to this area. Their lecture demonstrates the new design.
