“This spring, the DC-based nonprofit FRESHFARM is making significant enhancements to its flagship Dupont Circle Farmers Market, expanding the Sunday market and adding a Thursday market to the Dupont location.

This month Sara from Long Walks DC writes:

“In honor of the approaching peak bloom, I wanted to share some of my favorite cherry blossom murals that can be enjoyed all year long or as an addition/alternative to the crowds around the allergy-inducing trees.
