D&R International Partnership with Parks Department Yields Silver Spring Demonstration Garden

D&R International, a Silver Spring-based environmental consulting firm, has partnered with the Montgomery County Department of Parks to develop the county’s first voluntary government-business garden. Located at the gateway to the Silver Spring business district, the Xeriscape Demonstration Garden at Woodside Urban Park includes more than 500 low-maintenance, drought-tolerant native plants and shrubs that attract wildlife.

Bray & Scarff, a local kitchen and appliance retailer, also provided financial support for the project. Greenlink, a local landscaping company, donated the shrubs.  Click here to learn more!
