Zinnias to be the First Life on Mars? and All Invited to Info Session!

Starting off the gardening year with a reference to Bowie, RIP! But how would you grow crops on deep-space missions (Mars, for instance)? Think about it: seeds are a lot easier to carry than food, and if you can figure out the water reclamation part, you're golden. 

Of course they're wondering about that at NASA, and trying things out on the International Space Station.  Here's a recent post, Flowers Harvested on the Ground & in Space.  

A little closer to home, you're invited to an info session for all interested in the GW Community Garden. It will be at Stomping Ground, 2309 Mt. Vernon Avenue in Del Ray. Tuesday, March 15, 2016, 7pm.  Stomping Ground is one of our community partners, and are opening up especially for our meeting.  Get there early to buy & try out their excellent selection of coffee & pastries.  

We have exciting plans for this year's garden and look forward to sharing our ideas and reconnecting with you all at the information session.  Find out what your commitment is, what the cost to join is, and what we hope to achieve as a community garden.
