With the twenty-two Corinthian columns, which were a part of the United States Capitol from 1828 to 1958, serving as a background to the festivities, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue and wife Ms. Mary Perdue attend the "Dinner Under the Stars" at the National Arboretum in Washington, D.C. June 6, 2018.

Each year in June, when the Arboretum gardens are in full bloom, Friends of the National Arboretum (FONA) welcomes friends and guests to a relaxing evening overlooking the Capitol Columns. With a cocktail reception in the fragrant National Herb Garden and a feast in the meadow, the annual Dinner Under the Stars is always a pleasure.

 

Now in its 24th year, this well-attended event brings together people from business, government and the community to support the gardens and programs at the Arboretum. The theme for this year will be the Chesapeake Bay Watershed and the event will honor Representative Rodney Frelinghuysen.
