In this episode of GardenDC: The Podcast about Mid-Atlantic Gardening, we talk with Michael Judd of Ecologia Design about all the nut-bearing trees. The plant profile is on Azaleas 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 "What to Grow with Beets" by Christy Page of GreenPrints.
