 The District Heights Community Garden is hosting it's 2nd Annnual Plant Sale at Fiesta Place Garden.  Where is Fiesta Place Garden???  6717 Gateway Blvd, Distict Heights, Md.....right in our own community from 8:00 am until 12 noon. One of the DH Communitiy Garden members has grown some chemical free plants, there will be other plants that have been grown in the Communitiy Garden for sale as well.  For more information email dhga...@gmail.com or stop on by and see what's growing at Fiesta Place!!

 

The Garden Coalition needs enthusiastic people who want to participate in the beautification efforts throughout the City of District Heights.  We are trying to cultivate a community of people who are passionate about gardening and want to volunteer to participate in the appearance of OUR City.  We are embarking upon a special project that will bring pollinators to our communitiy like never before.  WITHOUT POLLINATORS, WE HAVE NO FOOD.....

 

At the intersection of District Heights Parkway and Rochelle Drive, you will notice some humble garden fanatics working on the daffodil bed that has finally finished blooming.  No we are not digging them up, we are planting our perennial pollinator attracting plants among the daffodils so they can grow and mature in their natural setting.  Come join us.  I am currently scheduling evening work days as our Saturday's are full with activities throughout our wonderful City. If anyone would like to help with the pollinator planting, please call 301-785-7507 or watch our Facebook page for planting date details (thegardencoalition -dh).  Ordered plant matierial should be in by May 23 - details to follow. This is a project that will continuie to grow as we create this area's first Environmental Corridor to bring nature back into our neighborhood. 

 

Interested n learning more about gardening, visiting gardens of note or just need a new activity that will get you out and moving like Mrs. Michelle Obama speaks about???  We are excited about the possiblities of growing our group and more excied about the new faces that we might meet.

 

Are you growing pollinator plants to help the bees and butterfly's???? Need more information on this project???  Watch our Facebook page, or feel free to send an email thegarden...@gmail.com  and come on out to join us!!!  All levels of gardening expertise is welcome and appreciated.  Looking at the next two first Saturday's in June andn July, there are competing events in our City.  June 6th is District Heights Day and July 4th, also happens to be on the first Saturday.  Needless to say, I am trying to reschedule our meeting's so we can actually meet.  Details to follow soon!!
