Join the HCC Community of Gardeners
The Adopt-A-Plot Program is a key component of the environmental stewardship of Historic Congressional Cemetery. Our program provides individuals, groups, organizations, and companies with the opportunity to play an important and active role in preserving, enhancing, and maintaining the landscape and grounds. While serving as an outlet for individual and collective creativity, the contributions of volunteers also provide vital support for birds, bees and butterflies.
Members of the Adopt-a-Plot program will be assigned a plot to tend to throughout the year. The plots available to be adopted range in size from about ten square feet to up to five hundred square feet. Each of the nearly 200 plots that are available for adoption are those surrounded by stone coping or a metal fence.
