Dear Friends, We are hoping to resume our weekly seed-cleaning sessions both
at Arlington Village and Long Branch Nature Center. Sundays, January 20


DEAR FRIENDS,

We are hoping to resume our weekly seed-cleaning sessions both at Arlington
Village and Long Branch Nature Center.

Sundays, January 20th & 27th, from 10 am to 1 pm, at Arlington Village: 1400
South Edgewood Street, Arlington. This is the community room of Arlington
Village and is located on the lowest point of the street. Please look for
the brown street sign that says "1400 South Edgewood Street." The community
Room is through basement door at the corner of the building. If you can't
find it, please call Rodney at 703-216-4855 for directions.

Mondays, January 28th, from 10 am to 1 pm, at Long Branch Nature Center in
Arlington: 625 South Carlin Spring Road, Arlington. This Monday, 21st is
Martin Luther King Jr. Day and the Long Branch Nature Center will be closed.

We will most likely add two more weeks (Sundays & Mondays) in February for
seed cleaning. The Daingerfield Island greenhouse is closed during the
government shutdown. We normally would have used this facility for our
weekday seed cleaning, but that venue is not available now.

Moss is no weed. It’s a brilliant addition to the garden.
