From The Washington Informer:

“Almost three decades ago, eco-feminist Brenda Richardson and some colleagues with the Earth Conservation Corps stumbled upon a fenced-off, forested area behind Howard Road in Southeast. It turned out to be a very well-hidden gem.”

“There was a break in the fence, and there was a little path, so we went through,” Richardson said. “And we came upon these stunningly beautiful rose bushes.”
