Hello Renae:

I was gardening at Euclid and 16th in the District, but the plot has been sold for developing, so I am back looking again for gardening space.

I'm wondering where you ended up.

If you're in Montgomery county, you might try Mont. county Parks and Recreation.

There's an article in the Metro section of today's Wasington Times about a Northeast DC community garden called Binders Gardens. The article's called "Growth in Urban Gardens".

Here is a link that might be useful: washingtontimes.com

Hi:

There is a community garden not far off Wisconson Ave, north of Georgetown. We lived right around the corner from it, but at the time, it was filled with a 2 year waiting list. Beautiful garden and room to expand so you should check it out, maybe it's gotten bigger.
