I recently joined my colleagues from the Smithsonian Anacostia Community Museum for a webinar on how to best tend your urban garden in the fall. I talk about harvesting, planting, improving your garden’s soil, and much more. I also answer questions from garden enthusiasts tuning in live.
It is a privilege to share my knowledge and passion of urban gardening with Washington, D.C. residents like you. I hope you find the video informative and fun!
