You'll find info at these sites. The last is a portal to all Smithsonian's DC Gardens... http://www.smithsonianmag.si.edu/journeys/01/mar01/tour_ripley.html http://www.smithsonianmag.si.edu/journeys/01/mar01/tour_haupt1.html http://www.smithsonianmag.si.edu/journeys/01/mar01/destinations1.html The Haupt Garden is listed at 4.2 acres...!!! I assume that means that the Ripley feeders are the destination of choice for the best chance of viewing the hummers...???
