The To Do List, Weekend of March 26, 2021

The sun is shining and the temperatures are climbing. The Tidal Basin is restricting vehicular AND pedestrian access, though sources tell me that if you’re alone or in small groups (read: two or three people) you can enjoy the blossoms. But why would you trek all the way out there if our own Stanton Park is at PEDUNCLE ELONGATION stage right as we speak?

Can’t be emphasized enough, but WEAR A MASK. We are not all vaccinated and we’re not yet at herd immunity.

Here’s a fun outdoor activity that can help your community. Via ANC commissioner Edward Ryder, there will be a community gardening event in Hill East tomorrow: “Saturday March 27 10AM – Need volunteers to help with the park along I (with the exercise equipment).  The plan is to mix in more mulch/ soil conditioner, weed around the hedge in the back and add some plantings. Volunteers should bring water, gloves, and hand tools if they have them. Folks can register to volunteer at  https://guerrillagardenersdc.org/volunteer
