Planting Plans and Organizing a Community Workday
Wondering what to plant in your school garden come spring? In this session, we’ll explore creative ways to plan your spring planting while keeping sustainability at the forefront. We’ll share tips on what to grow when, resources to guide your planning, and strategies for making the most of your garden space. DC Natives will also join us to share their expertise on building native perennial gardens, including guidance on plant selection.
