Our system at the National Institute of Health Library in Bethesda, MD covers over 6500sqft and features a huge variety of plants that NIH is studying for medicinal purposes. This roof & reading area earned won the HHS Green Champion Award and Green Project of the Year from the Medical Library Assoc.

Here's a Sedum reflexum specimen on top of one of our in full bloom. Also called Blue Spruce Stonecrop - its leaves resemble spruce needles until these bright yellow floral display arrive in late summer. It is very hard and drought tolerant making it a favorite for our winters.

Here at the end of it's bloom is Phedimus spurius - or the two-row stonecrop - which is native to Asia and eastern Europe. This hardy little succulent can withstand cold winters well into the negatives but does enjoy full sun and well drained soil. Next, our Stewardship crews will remove any decaying material to make room for new growth in the spring.
