Congress funds have long been allocated but the capital botanical garden remains unrealized. Plans now call for buying two derelict squares south of the existing site for 600000 dollars to host new greenhouses and a Bartholdi fountain, creating a centerpiece in the Mall area with about 1 million dollars in total investment.
