We are currently closed for winter at the garden center, but landscaping and garden design services are still available! We are an urban garden center/ farm located in Brookland in Washington D.C. Since our grand opening in March of 2009, we've been called the "Green Beating Heart" of the city. We supply everything from annuals, perennials, trees, and shrubs, to mulch, compost, top soil, propane,

and Christmas trees! We are a seasonal business. Starting on Black Friday each year we primarily sell Christmas trees, and once we've sold out we are closed until Spring. During the regular season we host a variety of events ranging from plant workshops, potlucks, and even outdoor movies! Thanks for your interest in OLD CITY GARDEN,
Hope to see you soon! Sincerely,
The OCG Team

Our Story

We are an urban farm & garden center located in Brookland in Washington D.C. We opened at our original location in Shaw in March of 2009 and we were called the "Green Beating Heart" of Shaw. We love to provide access to green space for our community. We transformed the abandoned Shaw Jr High School into a public green space benefiting the environment and our community and are continuing to now do the same in Brookland. We’re all about helping you create the perfect garden for your home by helping you find gorgeous plants at our space or by using our landscaping and garden design services. We supply everything from annuals, perennials, trees, and shrubs, to mulch, compost, pottery, and propane. We have a beautiful event space which we use for community workshops and private parties. Follow our page for updates on events and sales and follow us on Instagram, @oldecitygarden, for garden tips and to see what our latest availability is. Thanks for your interest in Olde City Farm Garden, Hope to see you soon! Sincerely, The Olde City Garden Team

Basil, oregano, mint, chives, sage, rosemary, and thyme are the easiest herbs to grow indoors. Grow them indoors this winter and enjoy some delicious meals!🌱
Does hydroponics take up a lot of space?

No they don't! You can actually get 4 times the amount of crops in the same space as traditional soil farming!
Today we take time to reflect and honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the courage and impact he had on our country.

DC tree pickups will run from Jan 3rd - March 3rd. It is important to allow your tree to be picked up and disposed of properly, instead of dropping it off at a park or body of land. If your tree is dried out it could be a fire hazard and should be disposed of immediately!
In addition to brightening up your spaces, indoor plants have some awesome benefits! What questions do you have about indoor plants? What indoor plants do you have in your space?
Wishing you a Merry Christmas! Thank you for all of your support this holiday season. Stay tuned for more plant facts and other updates as we get prepared for next season!
