One of the best ways to learn about vegetable gardening is to see long established gardens in action. Make time this year to visit the Organic Vegetable Garden in north Arlington at Potomac Overlook Regional Park, one of the eight demonstration gardens operated by MGNV.
It’s been a year since the OVG garden was transformed with new beds throughout and two new kiosks. Come visit to see the progress in this renovated garden.
