Attracting Hummingbirds to Your Garden

In this episode of GardenDC: The Podcast about Mid-Atlantic Gardening, we talk with Mark Weathington, Director of the JC Raulston Arboretum, all about gardening for Hummingbirds. The plant profile is on Ostrich Ferns and we share what's going on in the garden as well as some upcoming local gardening events in the What's New segment. We close out with the Last Word on "Preventing Lettuce Tip Burn" from Christy Page of GreenPrints.
