Miscellaneous


This is what many gardens look like in DC this time of the year. Daffodils, mulch, wintry ground cover, and stalks of greenery planted in the fall. And here are some more pictures of springtime in DC gardens. There are cob sheds, chickens, and early planting beds.



Finally, in the spirit of the movie festival just held in DC, here's a movie about Savannah, GA.

Vanishing Bees


DC Environmental Film Festival is happening right now. There are many wonderful movies about many interesting topics playing all over Washington DC area, it is free, and I would recommend anyone to attend a few screenings. The movie that had a really great effect on me was "Vanishing of the Bees". There are two more screenings in DC, but if you're reading this from somewhere else in the world, there may be a screening near you, or you can request and organize one on their website. In DC the movie will be playing again on Thursday, March 24 at 7:30 PM at the Chevy Chase Presbyterian Church, and on Thursday, March 31 at 7:00 PM at Georgetown University (Hariri Building, Rm 160).
See it, and please visit a wonderful permaculture blog (with beautiful recent pictures of beehives) here.
