Tree Walk: Trees on Structures Tour

20th St NW,Washington DC 20245

13 May, 2023

Description

Join us for a May tree walk in the Virginia Avenue Gardens to learn about Trees on Structures with our conservation planner! The Virginia Avenue Gardens of the Federal Reserve appear at grade but are actually on the roof of an underground parking structure. This walk will highlight the importance of planting trees in nontraditional locations to expand access to green space for urban residents. Participants will learn more about specific trees planted there, design elements that make this park unique, and how this approach to parkland can be applied to other areas within DC. The official Trees on Structure book, as well as our Species Guide, will be available as an optional add-on when you reserve your ticket. Purchase of a book is not a ticket to the event and is not necessary to participate.
