About the Washington Youth Garden
Washington Youth Garden is a one-acre education garden located at the National Arboretum in Washington, D.C. Established in 1971, the garden serves as a destination for garden-based education and nature play for the local community. The goal of the garden is to share innovative growing techniques, encourage nature play, and grow fresh produce for the community. Visitors of all ages can engage with agriculture, farming, and environmental education through various garden features such as the pollinator garden, sensory garden, food production area, and Nature Explore classroom. The garden also distributes thousands of pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables to students and families in the DC community to combat food insecurity.
The Washington Youth Garden is currently undergoing renovations, including the installation of a new perimeter fence to expand the growing space of the garden. Donations are being accepted to support the renovation project, with matching gifts available for community contributions. The garden also offers membership opportunities starting at $45, as well as a passionate community of supporters with membership starting at $1,200.
In addition to educational programs, the garden welcomes volunteers to help with gardening tasks such as weeding, planting, mulching, and pest control. Regularly scheduled volunteer hours are available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays from April through mid-November, with group volunteer days also being accommodated. The garden provides a unique opportunity for individuals and groups to give back to the community, connect with nature, and learn about sustainable gardening practices.
