Looking back at 2024

We did that! You did that! DC Natives goal was to not just increase pollinator-attracting plants throughout the District. Our goal was to also create community–and we are proud to say we’ve been able to do both this year.

With 34 new gardens planted in the spring, 43 gardens planted this fall, and 1500 native pollinator plants planted in 6 of 8 wards, we are buzzing with excitement (see what we did there?)

We are thankful to our volunteers, donors, board members, block captains and our growing family of DC Natives gardeners. Your support and excitement continues to fuel our efforts to connect more District residents to pollinators, and each other.

DC Natives is proud to bring together residents from different walks of life and varying levels of gardening. Can you believe we started six years ago in Ward 7 with only 10 gardens? Today, thanks to generous donors, inquisitive residents and community partners, we have planted over 350 residential gardens. We have also answered the call to partnership in order to create community gardens, youth gardens and neighborhood gardens. And we’re not done yet.Your end of year, tax-deductive donations, your word of mouth and your volunteerism helps DC Natives grow. Let’s keep it going! Thank you for support.
