DCCA was thrilled to see so many new and old neighbors at the T Street Garden lending a hand to plant, weed, and beautify our shared green areas. Next time you walk by the 17th and T garden, take a minute to smell the roses!

It was also great to see so many friendly faces picking up the free milkweed plants being shared at the Dupont Farmers Market. By taking those home for planting neighbors are helping feed larva so they can develop into monarch butterflies!

I Love a Parade 🎶

The National Memorial Day Parade organized by the American Veterans Center is back after a 2 year break during the pandemic. The parade is expected to draw a larger crowd than usual. This year’s grand marshal will be Lt. Colonel James H. Harvey, III, one of the Tuskegee Airmen and a Korean War veteran.

The parade will also be nationally televised, with Anthony Anderson and Joe Buck co-hosting and musical performances from Eli Young Band and others.

Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens

If you want to learn more about trees and love spending time outdoors, join Casey Trees and Friends of Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens for a unique, two-part event.

It starts with an easy-paced tree walk, where they identify trees commonly found around DC. After the tree ID walk, the group will decompress and further connect with nature through a guided forest-bathing experience led by Sage, a certified forest bathing guide. Forest bathing is the act of immersing yourself in nature in order to experience its unique benefits, including reduced stress and improved mental health.
