 A steamy Saturday in July found us celebrating the summer harvest with a Friend and Family Fun Day at the WYG! This second annual event drew over 75 friends and neighbors out to enjoy our new Nature Explore Classroom, learn about our new honey beehives through interactive demos, and share tasty foods prepared from the garden by our high school summer interns. Live music, face-painting and sprinklers added to the delight!
A special thanks goes out to all the partners and volunteers who helped make this day possible, including food donors Glut Food Co-op , Honest Tea , Mom's Organic Market, Yes! Organic Market , Tryst , and Whole Foods . We appreciate your support!

 On Sunday, November 1st, over 600
runners participated in the Washington Youth Garden's annual 5K run
around the beautiful grounds of the U.S. National Arboretum. The race
was organized with support from Girls on the Run DC
, a non-profit organization that inspires young girls to be active and
be positive. This year's Dig In will prove to be especially memorable
thanks to the presence of all these shining girls, many of whom
completed a 5K for the first time. Thanks to all the runners, walkers,
and volunteers who came out despite the damp conditions, and thanks to
all participants, whose support will benefit programming at the
Washington Youth Garden.
