In this episode of GardenDC: The Podcast about Mid-Atlantic Gardening, we talk with returning guest Phil Normandy about a small town arboretum. The plant profile is on Creeping Raspberry and we share what's going on in the garden as well as some upcoming local gardening events and this week's garden tasks in the What's New segment. We close out with the Last Word on Stumpy's Farewell from Christy Page of Green Prints.
