Let's Have a Pollinator Party!!!

It's Pollinator Week, and our friends at Pollinator.org are having a week-long pollinator party. Because you can't have a party without music, one of our gardeners has developed a playlist, Roots, Rhythms, & Blooms. The playlist features a joyful mix of R&B, Soul, Pop, Afrobeat, African, Latino, Reggae, and feel-good classics inspired by pollinators, plants, community, and the many cultures that make our garden special. This is great music to play while gardening.

You can listen to the playlist on Spotify using this link:

About the Garden

The Mamie D. Lee Community Garden is located in Ward 5 in Washington, DC. Measuring almost 1.5 acres, the MDL Community Garden is one of the largest community gardens in DC. It’s been in existence over 30 years, on land overseen by the National Park Service – Rock Creek Park.

Our community garden is comprised of a diverse group of 93 gardeners, ranging in age from infant to 80+, and representing at least nine different nationalities -- who collectively make up the Mamie D. Lee Garden Association. We are a 501(c)(3) organization. Garden amenities include a community toolshed with communal tools, community composting area, piles of woodchips, water hose spigots, and tables. Because we are a community garden, gardeners agree to abide by a set of rules and contribute a minimum number of hours of community service. Gardeners must also keep their plots in good shape - we have inspections! Last, National Park Service regulations explicitly prohibit sale of anything grown in our garden. If you are a market farmer and you want to grow produce to sell, please look elsewhere. If you are interested in a garden plot to grow vegetables for yourself, your family, and friends, please contact us at info@mdlga.org to request an application. We have a waiting list.
