GardenDC Podcast Episode 307: Leave the Leaves

In this episode of GardenDC: The Podcast about Mid-Atlantic Gardening, we talk with entomologist Max Ferlauto about his research on the benefits of leaving the leaves. The plant profile is on Showy Skullcap Flower 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 "Helping Holiday Plants" from Christy Page of GreenPrints.
