This week Wagner Farm received a very special invitation. We have been asked by the Smithsonian Gardens to participate in their Garden Fest event in May. This year's theme is the "American Garden Experience". To help showcase the event, the Smithsonian invites outside organizations to participate. According to the Smithsonian, "Not all gardens are ornamental or hobby related. Many gardens actually are commercial in nature and we would like to include this as part of the experience." Because Wagner Farm interprets truck farming, or as it is also known, market gardening we are a perfect fit. The plan right now is to treat this as a very big outreach program. We will load up the truck and trailer with artifacts and other demonstrations items. If the weather is good, we were told to expect around 10,000 visitors that weekend. We are so excited for this opportunity!
