In this episode of GardenDC: The Podcast about Mid-Atlantic Gardening, we talk with Thomas Christopher, horticulturist, author, and podcaster, about Department of Government Efficency (DOGE) impacts on gardening. The plant profile is on Trillium and we share what's going on in the garden as well as some upcoming local gardening events in the What's New segment. We close out with the Last Word on Types of Pruning Shears by Christy Page of GreenPrints.
