Southwest Gardens, located in Lansburgh Park, will re-open its communal section on Saturday, April 19 from 10:00 a.m.- 1:00 p.m. with a day full of activities and fun!
The kickoff will include planting, weeding, painting, composting, and lots of digging and watering. If these activities don’t appeal to you, please know you’re welcome to just come and enjoy time chatting with neighbors in your community garden. This event is for all ages and abilities. While there is a lot of pain in our country and world right now, the garden is a space where we can be together communally in service of growing food and friendships. We hope you will join us!
Our communal hours will return starting April 23 and be held every Wednesday from 6:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. and Sundays from 4:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. (weather permitting). Email swgardensdc@gmail.com for more information about any of these initiatives, and as always, to learn more about the garden, visit www.swgardens.org or join our newsletter by emailing swgardensdc@gmail.com.
