Make A Difference Day at the Washington Youth Garden

Come WYG-out with us on Make A Difference Day! Located within the beautiful National Arboretum, the WYG is a pocket of peace in the busy DC cityscape that uses the food production cycle as a means to connect area youths with science education, health, and community stewardship. What better way to make a difference than helping to inspire the next generation to make healthy and responsible decisions? We've got several small projects lined out that span general constuction, site improvement, gardening, and even tree felling, so chances are you'll find a way to feel good about what you contribute. Make sure to let us know if you plan on bringing little ones, cause we're gonna have pumpkins and maybe even a Halloween costume contest!
