Bartholdi Park is a public park named after French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, who is known primarily for designing the Statue of Liberty. It is located at the corner of Independence Avenue and Washington Avenue. Bartholdi Park is part of the United States Botanic Garden located on the grounds of the United States Capitol. ==History==
Bartholdi Park was created as an exclave of the United States Botanic Garden in 1932, following the gardens move from their original location at the base of the Capitol in 1927. Originally created as a showcase for American horticulture, the park has continued this purpose to this day. While once having its beds planted in a formal, classical style to facilitate public gatherings, the gardens have been continually redesigned to reflect modern American horticulture and to allow the addition of new plants. In 1985, the park was renamed to Bartholdi Park, after Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, the sculptor of the Bartholdi fountain in the center of the park. Recently the park has begun a redesign to become a part of the Sustainable Sites Initiative pilot project. This will include the addition of a demonstration garden for homeowners that will have a focus on creating self sustainable self-sustaining gardens.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.aoc.gov/capitol-buildings/bartholdi-park-and-fountain )〕
