Garden Blog

First Blog Post

Our venerable chief botanist and garden designer, Dr. Christopher Puttock, will be hosting this ‘Garden Blog.’ He plans to kick it off in January, when we can start thinking about plans for the much anticipated spring planting season. I wish to take this opportunity to thank him for his excellent work in the year 2010, when he  designed and oversaw the planting of over a dozen Monarch Habitat Gardens, including the one at the Marie Reed Learning Center with First Lady Michelle Obama and a cadre of Congressional spouses (see the feature in our ‘News and Events’ section).
