In this episode of GardenDC: The Podcast about Mid-Atlantic Gardening, we chat with Janet Draper, Horticulturist at the Mary Livingston Ripley Garden, part of Smithsonian Gardens. The plant profile is on Balloon Flower 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 Gardening with Water from the late James van Sweden.
