Washington, DC has many beatiful garden locations for planning a surprise proposal! Here is a surprise proposal photographed at the Mary Livingston Ripley Garden right near the National Mall. The Mary Livingston Ripley Garden is a quiet garden for countless visitors to the National Mall each year.

The garden’s ‘goal’ is to expose visitors to a wide variety of plants and inspire people to expand their plant palette. In the garden’s early years, Smithsonian staff transplanted euonymus from the family home of Smithsonian Secretary S. Dillon Ripley in Litchfield, Connecticut, to form the east wall’s espaliers.
