We send a huge heartfelt thanks to runners and families who came out of the National Arboretum and supported the Washington Youth Garden at our fourth annual “Dig In Your Heels” 5K, Fun Run, and Walk on Sunday, November 2, 2008.  Check here to see your results!

The Washington Youth Garden has released a brand new cookbook filled with delicious recipes emphasizing garden produce.  

On September 13th, the Washington Youth Garden held its 3rd annual Ice Cream Social, a fun-filled outdoor gathering for families to enjoy free ice cream, music, entertainment, and crafts. It was a resounding success, thanks to our incredible band of dedicated volunteers and supporters, and especially to Gifford's Ice Cream & Candy Co. for donating the ice cream to our eponymous event.

Enthusiastic campers display their harvest with pride as they get ready to take a field trip to DC Central Kitchen to donate the excess produce from our program.
