Gardening for a Healthy Mind, Body & Planet

By T. Carter Ross Corridor Conversations March 20, 2023

On March 18, 2023, Dave Roeder, a founding member of the Hyatt Park Community Garden, discussed growing vegetables in small spaces with methods that won’t break your back while providing continuous produce throughout the summer. He also was a long-time volunteer with Chesapeake Natives and will discus landscaping with native plants to support wildlife, reduce runoff, and save on maintenance chores. Whether you’re an experienced gardener or just curious, you’ll find this discussion about vegetable gardening and landscaping with native plants fun and inspiring.

Corridor Conversations are organized by Hyattsville Aging in Place, Neighbors Helping Neighbors College Park, Helping Hands University Park, and Explorations on Aging.
