From Washington Gardeners:
The weekend is another full-throttle affair. Starting off Saturday at
the Smithsonian' s Garden Fest -- free and for the whole family on the
National Mall. Lots of hands-on activities and sights to see. I'm
bringing my camera and supplying a drawing prize.
Moving on to an afternoon of tours with the Garden Conservancy. Isn't
it great that this has been brought back to the DC-area? It was such a
shame to be without it for the past few years. Thanks to Jane MacLeish
and Lee Wilkinson for making it happen! We get to peak behind the
gates of some of DC's most affluent and distinguished gardens (and
Bethesda/Chevy Chase too). I'm prepared to be green with garden envy.
Then Sunday is an all-day Community Green event at AHS River Farm, and
before you ask, "Where?" Think of going to Mt Vernon and then picture
an estate a few miles up the road closer to Alexandria. There is an
entry fee, but look at the speaker schedule including Green Man Joe
Keyser, Garden Ranter Susan Harris, and Bulb Expert Brent Heath. Then
take a look at the rest of great events on the schedule. I think it is
well worth the price and benefits a great cause. We'll have a tent/
table there and offer Community Green attendees 10% off our normal
subscription rate so $18 instead of $20 for signing up at the event.
