A Connecticut Avenue flower gardens in August 2020, cultivated by Master Gardener Kathy Sykes and her husband Steve Vetzner.
Sykes has a wealth of knowledge about the plants, and she will be giving 75-minute walking tours of the Connecticut Avenue street gardens on Sunday, April 25th and Monday, April 26th. The proceeds from each will benefit Van Ness Main Street.
The Sunday afternoon tour is for kids and their grownups. The Monday evening tour is for ages 16 and up. On both walks, you’ll learn the names and unique features of some of our native and perennial plants. You will also learn about “keystone plants” that provide tremendous benefits to our environment. You can easily translate this knowledge to your home garden or balcony plantings.
