In this episode of GardenDC: The Podcast about Mid-Atlantic Gardening, we chat with Claudia Kousoulas author of Private Gardens of the Potomac and Chesapeake: Washington, DC, Maryland, Northern Virginia*, about garden design transformations. The plant profile is on Pickerel Weed 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 Dr. Allan Armitage**, who returns to share the Last Word on Plant Pronounciations.
