In this episode of GardenDC: The Podcast about Mid-Atlantic Gardening, we talk with Ethan Kauffman, director of Stoneleigh, a new-ish public garden near Philadelphia, PA. The plant profile is on African Violets and we share what's going on in the garden as well as some upcoming local gardening events and garden tasks in the What's New segment. We close out with the Last Word on Thankfulness by Christy Page of Green Prints.
