DOWNTOWN DC GARDEN

This urban garden was located in the triangle-shaped median between Maryland Avenue, Independence Avenue and 6th Street, and directly across the street from the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. I spoke with a lady who was there tending her plot (or rather I fired off questions to her and she answered them) and she said that when the space was set aside as a community garden people reserved a plot on a first come first served basis. There is a strict set of guidelines under which it is governed. Everything must be organic, no trees or large bushes and if the plot is not well-maintained then you lose it and it goes to the next person on the list. She said there is a long waiting list. As you can see there was a bit of everything, from squash to peanuts. I found it fascinating and delightful!
