TEN years ago I adopted neglected Dupont Circle tree boxes filled with. . . well, you can imagine. They called me the guerilla gardener. Eventually, I persuaded businesses and homeowners to hire me to tend to their boxes and gardens. Together we filled them with hardy, beautiful shrubs and flowers.

Did you notice the tulips along 9th Street this spring?  Last fall I got back to my roots(so to speak) when Old City green partnered with Shaw Main Streets and dozens of neighborhood volunteers to fill tree boxes with tulip bulbs, which blossomed into gorgeous springtime colors..This Fall we will be adding more bulbs for Spring 2011.

Come by Old City green at 9th and N Streets to talk to me about the tree boxes in front of your home.  I’ll give you some ideas and suggest ideal plants.  Or have Fairies’ Crossing, Old City green’s landscaping sister company, shape up your boxes for you.
