Elessar and his men found many treasures (robbed from Edoras) there and the lost white stone, Elendilmir was there also.

I believe that Treebeard stated that Isengard was to grow many things, and become beautiful as it were a garden. I think he meant that it would be reclaimed by the trees, of the fate of Orthanc, I can give only my oppinion and best guess that it would become forgotten or abandoned, like Weathertop or Amon Hen.
