Title A name given to the resource Smithsonian Garden Shed Description An account of the resource This shed stood south-east of the first <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/52">Smithsonian building</a>, now called the Castle. Smithsonian staff stored gardening and grounds keeping equipment used on <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/529">the institution's grounds</a>. This shed was removed in the 1870s when construction of the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/56">Arts and Industries Building</a> began. Smithsonian staff require much larger facilities today, as they continue to landscape and maintain the grounds near all of the Institution's buildings on the Mall.

Title A name given to the resource Mall Turf Description An account of the resource Foot traffic from 25 million annual visitors is hard on the Mall’s natural resources. In 2017, the National Park Service completed a restoration project that re-engineered a total of 18 acres of turf between 3rd and 14th Streets to ensure preservation and access. The project included the installation of accessible granite curbs and compaction resistant soil. A new irrigation system was developed by installing drains and large underground cisterns to collect storm water which will be used to water the grass. A Turf Manager was hired to maintain the project, the first position of its kind in the National Park Service.

Title A name given to the resource Arborists on the Mall Description An account of the resource The National Park Service employs a team of professional arborists to ensure the continued health of the Mall's 9,000 trees. Sometimes known as "tree doctors," the arborists care for the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/24">cherry trees along the Tidal Basin</a>, which have been a fixture on the Mall since 1912. Without their hard work, the centerpieces of the annual <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/480">Cherry Blossom Festival </a>might not exist. The Mall’s trees are beautiful, but they also serve another important function: removing air and water pollutants from the city and Chesapeake Bay watershed.
