In this episode of GardenDC: The Podcast about Mid-Atlantic Gardening, we chat with John Boggan, a retired Smithsonian botanist, all about Begonias. The plant profile is on Salvia 'Black and Blue' and we share what's going on in the garden as well as some upcoming local gardening events in the What's New segment. We close out with the Last Word on the Raspberries by Christy Page at the Food Gardening Network.
