Important news about our page 📣 We are winding down the Washington Youth Garden page at the end of the summer, after which point this account will be archived and not actively updated.

But the Washington Youth Garden itself is not going anywhere. All information about programs and events happening in the Washington Youth Garden will be shared directly from Friends of the National Arboretum's account.

FONA remains committed to connecting people of all ages to garden science and nature at the U.S. National Arboretum through activities in the Washington Youth Garden. Archiving WYG's account will allow FONA's team to streamline communication efforts and better amplify all of the great work happening in the Washington Youth Garden.
