Washington, DC – The University of the District of Columbia (UDC), in conjunction with the DC Master Gardener Program, has rescheduled in the University’s First Fall Bulb Planting Extravaganza to Friday, November 2 and Saturday, November 3 on the UDC campus at 4200 Connecticut Ave, in Northwest, Washington, DC. The event, originally scheduled for Friday, October 26 and Saturday, October 27, 2007, was postponed due to inclement weather.
The campus beautification campaign is the inspiration of the University’s acting president Stanley Jackson, according to Ms. Sandra Farber, an Extension Agent and Master Gardener Coordinator for the University of the District of Columbia’s Cooperative Extension Service and principle organizer of the bulb planting.
Bulb planting efforts on Friday will focus on the Cleveland L. Dennard Plaza, the central outdoor area for the UDC campus, while Saturday planting will center on areas adjacent to the corner of Connecticut Avenue and Van Ness Streets.
