Yesterday, we partnered with Equality USDA, the LGBTQI+ employee resource group, to celebrate Pride Month by planting flowers in rainbow colors at the USDA Headquarters People’s Garden. Volunteers planted celosia, calendula, lobelia, salvia, and dahlia, and also harvested and donated greens to the DC Central Kitchen. If you’re in the area, come by to see our rainbow garden bed bloom! 🌻
So thankful to Natalie and NRCS for making our Equality USDA volunteer session so much fun & educational, and help us celebrate Pride Month at USDA! Special thanks to the lovely Mrs. Vilsack for joining us!
Congrats! Thank you Jeremy for representing Equality USDA and OCDIO.
Such a wonderful idea! And the garden bed looks fantastic!
