I am headed to D.C. this summer to intern at a public interest organization that works in food and agriculture policy. I am really excited about this opportunity to work on one of the most important and pressing matters of our time. The corporatization of our agricultural system has far-reaching consequences -- domestically and globally; on our health, climate change, and the environment.
Although I won't be able to work in the garden, I intend to continue updating the website. The roses will be completely neglected for a few months, and I look at this as an opportunity to keep testing the roses under the most rigorous conditions, and to weed out the weak cultivars. I plan to report my observations after I return.
The garden has survived many long periods of neglect before, and I fully expect that most of the roses will be fine. And yes, of course the cats are coming with me.

Hey Krista. Thanks for checking in. I'm not back yet. I've been learning a lot here in DC, and the future of food doesn't look good. Agriculture should belong to farmers and rural communities, not corporations
