"Mary's Mary's How Does Your Garden Grow?"



Thanks to a generous donation of perennial garden plants by the Garden District, a DC indoor and outdoor plant store located on 14th Avenue, Mary's Center now has a wonderful new garden! Come by and walk the flagstone path through the roses and back to the big old peach tree.

Or take a few minutes -- or your lunch break -- to rest on one of the lovely wooden benches.

Sit and enjoy all the new life growing up around you.

You will see dozens of new spring plants, including hosta, geraniums, lilacs, forsythia, red grasses, delphinium and black-eyed susans. Not all of these plants are in bloom at this season, but they will come back year after year showcasing their colorful spring and summer finery.

Pictured here is little Isabel holding an umbrella during one of our many recent rainstorms. Mary's Center is good at growing adorable little chidren, that's for sure!

A BIG THANKS to the Garden District for helping to give the entrance to Mary's Center a fresh green look!
