The beautification of our nation's Capitol, the areas near by and, finally, the beautification of the roadsides and medians of the Eisenhower Interstate Highway System, are all due to the persistent effort of Lady Bird Johnson. Prior to 1965 the city of Washington D.C. was quite unattractive and billboards covered the roadsides of the young Eisenhower Interstate highway system.
When she began her work in our nation's Capitol there were many wealthy persons who donated monies for planting in specific places.
Today our nation's Capitol is filled with more beautiful planting sites than we can imagine. Thank you Lady Bird. Flowers brighten our environment and lives.
