🌼 Have you noticed some amazing volunteers working in our city garden beds? 🌼
Those dedicated individuals are our VIPs (Volunteers in the Parks), a volunteer group through Washington In Bloom (WIB)!
Twice each month, these volunteers spend their time weeding, caring for the beautiful landscaping they planted earlier this year, and maintaining the perennials that bring color and life to our community throughout the seasons.
Washington In Bloom also proudly participates in the America in Bloom Program. This year marks our 14th year as participants! In the coming weeks, America in Bloom Advisors will visit Washington to assess our community, celebrate our successes, and offer recommendations on how we can continue to grow and improve.
Be sure to stop by the west side of City Hall, between City Hall and the Library, to see our All-America Selections Display Garden! Every plant in this garden was started from seed, planted, and is lovingly maintained by our Washington In Bloom Volunteers.
A huge thank you to our VIPs and WIB Members for the countless hours they dedicate to making Washington a more beautiful place to live, work, and visit. 🌸🌿
If you have a passion for gardening and would like to get involved with Washington In Bloom, VIPs, or both, we'd love to have you! Reach out to us at parks@washmo.gov to learn how you can join this incredible group of volunteers.
