Big Green: Sustainable Schoolyard Demonstration on the Mall needs native plant expert and a green bench

[CJ Hunter]

A sustainability and green building colleague, Susan Boyd, is developing 
a collaborative Sustainable Schoolyard exhibit as part of the US Botanic 
Garden's Sustainability-themed summer exhibit, which runs from May 24 - 
Oct. 13 on the national mall. She is in search of a classic garden 
bench, curved or straight, about 5.5' - 6' long and about 16" 
wide/deep.  The bench will be overlaid with a gorgeous botanic mosaic, 
created by artist volunteers.  All the components of the exhibit are 
green, sustainable, salvaged, re-usable, etc.  A used stone, concrete or 
wood "green" bench would be great.  Installation is the week of May 12 
so she needs to find one asap. 

Susan also needs a few hours of time from a DC-area native plant expert 
to assist with plant selection for the garden, also asap. 

Donors will be recognized on the exhibit's website and any donation 
would be tax-deductible. If any of you can help, please let her know at 
202.328.8160 or sboyd at concern.org <mailto:sboyd at concern.org>.

Many thanks and hope to see many of you on visits to this exciting exhibit!
