With spring approaching, we at Southwest Gardens are eager to open back up the communal section for the community again this year. Southwest residents founded the garden in 2013 and were intentional about maintaining part of the garden as resources for the community. We are excited to have grown the communal space from ten communal beds to now include two food fences, three herb beds, and an ever-growing orchard for the community. We can’t let our upcoming ten year anniversary go by without celebrating. Stay tuned for more information and we hope that you all will join us in the celebrations this summer!
In the meantime, we will be hosting our annual spring kickoff on Saturday, April 29 from 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. in our main garden in Lansburgh Park. All ages are welcomed to join us, no experience needed. Please email swgardensdc@gmail.com to join our newsletter and never miss an update from the Southwest Gardens!
