The Washington Convention Center Authority and the Department of Public Works (DPW) have once again kindly provided free mulch for residents in the community. The mulch was left over from last weekend's Washington Home & Garden Show. This is relatively high quality dark shredded mulch great for tree boxes and decorative enough for front yard usage. The bulk of it will be used for landscaping around Scott Montgomery, but over the years, neighbors have lobbied to get two truck loads at the school as demand has increased. There should be plenty to satisfy local demand.

DPW made several drops around Shaw. This year, the Scott Montgomery drop was on the 5th Street side of the school. Recent fires around the district have warranted strict adherence to fire regulations, so drops near the school entrance on P Street will no longer be made.
