In this episode of GardenDC: The Podcast about Mid-Atlantic Gardening, we chat with Carol Reese, retired Extension Horticulture Specialist, about native plant fallacies. The plant profile is on Sweetgum 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 Cooking with Pumpkins by Christy Page at the Food Gardening Network.
