July 8 | Anacostia Museum free gardening workshop for youth and adults

10:00 -11:00 AM: Young gardeners (5-12)
We will work with kids and adults to define and assign the tasks that all gardens must have during the summer to make sure the plants thrive and are productive.

11:00 AM-12:00 PM: Adult gardeners
The garden team will discuss the importance of summer soil work and have a larger discussion on organic additives that help plants thrive in the hottest of summers. We’ll explore mulches for water retention in our summer gardens and how through proper nutrition and soil protection summer gardens can thrive. Finally, we’ll demonstrate how to set up a late summer veggie garden that will produce for even the biggest procrastinators.
